When panel probe happens after DSI probe, the DSI probe

Check for NULL dsi device before accessing it.

It would be really nice to sort all of this out in a manner that's not sprinkling NULL checks around the driver. I spent 5 minutes looking around and couldn't really make sense of how all of these pieces interact, but this seems like it might be an architectural problem (perhaps since dpu was using its own
panel stuff instead of drm_panel?).

Anyways, it'd be nice to fix that.

In the meantime, could you please add a big comment like the !dev check in this function explaining how this situation can come to pass? That way the knowledge isn't lost and whoever comes along to clean up all of these probe checks will
have some clue as to what's going on.

Sean
[Abhinav] Sure Sean, will add a detailed comment to explain the scenario

Abhinav, it looks like this may have dropped off your radar.  Do you
know when you'll come back to it?
Hi Jeff, Yes i will upload a v2 with a detailed comment as sean requested within this week.
