Ensure that DSI is enabled before panel probe by setting the

Well this is specific to MSM DSI driver, it's not related at all to the panel.
I dont fully agree this is a MSM DSI driver specific thing.
If the panel can send its commands in its enable() callback, then this flag need not be set.
When a panel sends its DCS commands in its pre_enable() callback, any DSI controller will need to be ON before that otherwise DCS commands cannot be sent.
With this in mind, may I know why is this a MSM change and not a panel change?
As per my discussion with Dmitry during the last sync up, we were aligned on this expectation.
As of today, only the MSM DSI driver expects panels to have prepare_prev_first because it's the first
one calling pre_enable() before the DSI controller to be on, all other DSI drivers I know
still enables the DSI controller in mode_set() and thus can send commands in pre_enable() which
is a loose way to map the pre-video state for DSI panels...
A panel driver should not depend on features of a DSI controller, which is the case here
with this patch. Today's expectation is to send DSI commands in pre_enable() then when enabled
expect to be in video mode when enable() is called.
The main reason is because some DSI controllers cannot send LP commands after switching
to video mode (allwinner for example), so we must take this into account.
For v6.6, I don't see other solutions than reverting 9e15123eca79 (reverting won't regress anything,
because now it regresses also other panels on MSM platforms) and try to find a proper solution for v6.7...

Hi Neil,
I think there might be some confusion caused by the commit message -- instead of "enabled before panel probe", it should be "enabled before panel pre_enable()" as the panel on commands are sent during prepare(), which is matched to bridge pre_enable().
IIRC the general rule is that the panel driver should set the prepare_prev_first flag if the on commands are sent during pre_enable(), so I'll keep the code change but correct the commit message if that's ok with you.
Thanks,
Jessica Zhang
