drm/panel-simple: take i2c adapter module reference

This patch changes the panel-simple driver to use of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node()
instead of of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node(). This ensures the i2c adapter module
reference is taken, preventing uninterruptible blocking during deregistration.
The teardown paths are updated to use i2c_put_adapter() instead of put_device().

[Severity: Low]
Does this cause a build failure when CONFIG_I2C is disabled?

Looking at include/linux/i2c.h, it appears the declaration for i2c_put_adapter()
is guarded by IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_I2C), but there is no corresponding empty stub
provided in the fallback block for when I2C is disabled.

Since this driver can be built without CONFIG_I2C, calling i2c_put_adapter()
unconditionally here in panel_simple_probe() might result in an undefined
reference during linking or an implicit declaration error.

[Severity: Low]
The same potential build issue with CONFIG_I2C=n applies here in
panel_simple_remove().
