drm/panel: Use devm_mipi_dsi_attach in BOE panels

Use the managed MIPI DSI attach helper in BOE panel drivers and drop the
corresponding manual detach calls from remove paths.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but should drm_panel_remove(&boe->panel) be
called on this error path?

In boe_bf060y8m_aj0_probe(), drm_panel_add() inserts the panel into the
global panel_list. If devm_mipi_dsi_attach() fails, the function returns an
error without calling drm_panel_remove().

During probe failure, the devres cleanup drops the panel's refcount but it
remains in the global panel_list since the refcount doesn't reach zero. If
another driver later looks up this panel (e.g., via of_drm_find_panel())
and invokes its operations, it will dereference freed devres-managed resources
like boe->reset_gpio, causing a use-after-free.

Other BOE panel drivers updated in this patch seem to correctly handle this
cleanup.
