I added a trivial IRQ handler that dumps the status registers, just to
verify the interrupt number, and I got several interrupts during DSI
panel setup (so during DCS commands), mostly with DPHY_INT_PD0_REG =
0x03000000, signaling some sort of contention detection.

Did you get a chance to try this? I am about to send v2 of this series.
I wonder if I should keep the interrupts property as required, since I
don't know if the interrupt is actually hooked up on SoCs with CSI only.
