Surely the correct way to do this would be with a D-PHY mux chip such as OnSemi FSA642 [1] or those from Diodes Incorporated [2]. How you'd integrate such a mux into DRM is a totally different question. With V4L2 and CSI2 it'd be relatively simple via Media Controller. Just wiring them together isn't going to work very well for DSI reverse direction communication, but neither of the chips Jagan lists support this.
