Ok. Can you suggest how we should check for the described case?
I.e. initially I tried to simply defer in dw_mipi_dsi_bridge_attach [0]
where you suggested to do that in probe.

I moved the check to bind - see patch 5 - to fix the issue regarding
panel only probing after the dsi bus gets created, so this function
is a means to check if the panel has finished attaching, or to defer
binding - see dw_mipi_dsi_rockchip_bind in patch 5.

So I'm somewhat out of ideas right now, how to do this right.


Thanks
Heiko
