If rb070d30_panel_disable() returns an error, drm_panel_disable() skips
clearing panel->enabled. unprepare() still powers the panel off, but the
next drm_panel_enable() sees the panel as already enabled and does
nothing, so the panel stays dark.

Always return 0 from disable(). A failed ENTER_SLEEP_MODE is still logged
by mipi_dsi_dcs_enter_sleep_mode_multi().
