If we were to add a helper for this case, it should be a proper function
and not a macro like this.
We'd also need to see a user for this upstream.

This makes the assumption the devices are stored in an array. What if
drivers want to store them differently, for whatever reason? Maybe they
have an array of some container structs that have the devices? Maybe
they just have two struct mipi_dsi_device pointers?

I believe this should lead to a warning for mixing code and
declarations.

This ignores errors.

Without an example user, I'm not yet convinced about the usefulness of
the helper, but I'd imagine something like this would be a more generic
approach, not enforcing the array, and handling errors properly:
ssize_t mipi_dsi_dual_dcs_write(struct mipi_dsi_device *dsi0,
struct mipi_dsi_device *dsi1,
u8 cmd, const void *data, size_t len)
{
ssize_t err = 0;
if (dsi0)
err = mipi_dsi_dcs_write(dsi0, cmd, data, len);
if (dsi1 && !err)
err = mipi_dsi_dcs_write(dsi1, cmd, data, len);
return err;
}
But even that begs the question where does it end? There are a lot of
mipi_dsi_dcs_*() functions as well as mipi_dsi_generic_write(). Dual
wrappers for all of them? :o
