I have such question because I've reviewed omap's driver. In omap's
driver, after it call drm_bridge_connector_init(), it does this:
if (pipe->output->panel) {
ret = drm_panel_attach(pipe->output->panel,
pipe->connector);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
}
In this patch, you does not do this.

I'm not sure who can test this, but [1], which is sent by YT Shen in a
series, is a patch to support dsi command mode so dsi could directly
connect to panel.
[1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/gpu/drm/mediatek?h=v5.7-rc5&id=21898816831fc60c92dd634ab4316a24da7eb4af
It's better that someone could test this case, but if no one would
test this, I could also accept a good-look patch.
