[PATCH] drm/panel: st7703: use DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE with debugfs_create_file_unsafe()

[Deepak R Varma]

Using DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE macro with debugfs_create_file_unsafe()
function in place of the debugfs_create_file() function will make the
file operation struct "reset" aware of the file's lifetime. Additional
details here: https://lists.archive.carbon60.com/linux/kernel/2369498

Issue reported by Coccinelle script:

Based on discussions triggered by other patches doing the same
replacement I will ignore this patch for now.
If the conclusions are that this is indeed the right thing to do then
please let us know so we can apply this patch.

Thanks,
