I'm not sure that it's correct to share this mipi dsi driver with I.MX8MM SoC even though it's a same IP because this MIPI DSI device isn't peripheral device but in SoC.
It would mean that Exynos MIPI DSI device depends on SoC architecture, and Exynos and I.MX series are totally different SoC. So if we share the same driver for the MIPI DSI device then many things we didn't predict may happen in the future. I don't want to make Jagan's efforts in vain for the community but clarify whether this is correct way or not. If this is only the way we have to go then we could more focus on actual solution not such hack. Impossible work with Jagan alone I think.

So let's get started with a question,
- Is MIPI-DSI bridge device or Encoder device? I think that MIPI-DSI is a Encoder device managed by atomic KMS. If MIPI-DSI should be handled as bridge device then does now drm bridge framework provide everything to share one driver with one more SoC? I mean something that drm bridge has to consider for such driver support, which is shared with one more SoC.  


And Display mode - VIDEO and COMMAND mode - is generic type of MIPI DSI, and also componentised subsystem is a generic solution to resolve probing order issue not Exynos specific feature. These are driver specific ones not Exynos SoC I think. As SoC specific things should be considered, I think MIPI DSI Driver - interrupt handler and probing order things are really specific to device driver - should be separated but we could share the control part of the device.

I was busy with other projects so didn't care of Linux DRM world so there may be my missing something.

Thanks,
Inki Dae
