drm-panel: If drm_panel_dp_aux_backlight() fails, don't fail panel probe
If we're using the AUX channel for eDP backlight and it fails to probe for some reason, let's _not_ fail the panel probe. At least one case where we could fail to init the backlight is because of a dead or physically missing panel. As talked about in detail in the earlier patch in this series, ("drm/panel-edp: If we fail to powerup/get EDID, use conservative timings"), this can cause the entire system's display pipeline to fail to come up and that's non-ideal. If we fail to init the backlight for some transitory reason, we should dig in and see if there's a way to fix this (perhaps retries?). Even in that case, though, having a panel whose backlight is stuck at 100% (the default, at least in the panel Samsung ATNA33XC20 I tested) is better than having no panel at all.
