I wasn't referring to your patchset but rather to the Samsung DSIM
bridge transformation patchset.

My point was simply to not try getting everything done in one big step
because this will fail. The patchset this refers to needs testing on two
separate platforms which is painful enough (thanks to Marek for covering
the Exynos side!). I think we should focus on getting the DSIM bridge
transformation merged and accept a few small hacks that will be taken
care of in the next step.

I'm actually working on this right now and when I received your message
I was about to start typing a reply to your patchset.

The SN65DSI84 works with the i.MX8MM DSIM even using the default order
of host init after peripheral init in our setup, but this configuration
doesn't seem to be stable and occasionally the bridge doesn't come up
properly.

We are still in the process of verifying if the reversed order fixes
this reliably. But regardless of the results, without the reversal the
initialization sequence is way out of spec and we need to fix this in
any case.

See here for my testing branch including some follow-up patches that
improve the initialization flow for my setup:

Thanks
Frieder
