It seems that directly supporting i.MX93 MIPI DSI in dw-mipi-dsi.c is not feasible. The main reason is that struct dw_mipi_dsi_plat_data contains phy_ops and each vendor driver provides very different methods for phy, while... > > > > > dw-mipi-dsi.c is generic w/wo this patch series. > > > > Can you elaborate more about adding compatibility to be part of existing > > dw-mipi-dsi.c with specific driver data?
