Not sure to follow you here: mipi_dsi_generic_read() will trig a dsi
generic read so it has to return "the number of bytes received for read
packets" as explained for the ->transfer() function... so it looks
"coherent"...
But maybe you want to point out something different?

The main reason why I want to "fix" this is because I do not want to
explain to our customers (writing dsi panel drivers) why we have a
different returned value compare to other platforms : )
