The macro mipi_dbi_command() does not report errors unless you wrap it in another macro to do the error reporting. Report a rate-limited error so we know what is going on. Drop the only user in DRM using mipi_dbi_command() and actually checking the error explicitly, let it use mipi_dbi_command_buf() directly instead. After this any code wishing to send command arrays can rely on mipi_dbi_command() providing an appropriate error message if something goes wrong.
