None, that's my point, you don't need anything else in order to do what
you wanted to achieve.

But you provided no reason to do so. The only one you did mention was
that you wanted to support downstream bridges, but you don't need to
convert the DSI driver to a bridge in order to do that.

There's two separate bridge in that discussion: the DSI controller
itself that you convert to a bridge, and the downstream DSI -> whatever
bridge.

The atomic functions in the "DSI controller bridge" are fine. But that
comment was about calling the downstream bridge ops directly from the
driver, which is something that no other driver is doing, deviates from
the expectations, and you didn't provide any explanation for that.

That driver doesn't register a DSI Host though? It registers a DSI
device
