Starting from my use case:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/32e00000.lcdif/bridge_chains
encoder[36]
bridge[0] type: 16, ops: 0x0, OF:
/soc@0/bus@32c00000/dsi@32e10000:fsl,imx8mn-mipi-dsim
bridge[1] type: 16, ops: 0x8, OF:
/soc@0/bus@32c00000/dsi@32e10000/panel@0:sharp,ls068b3sx0

I developed a pass through MIPI-DSI bridge driver to try to test your case:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/32e00000.lcdif/bridge_chains
encoder[36]
bridge[0] type: 16, ops: 0x0, OF:
/soc@0/bus@32c00000/dsi@32e10000:fsl,imx8mn-mipi-dsim
bridge[1] type: 16, ops: 0x0, OF: /pt_mipi_dsi1:amarula,pt-mipi-dsi
bridge[2] type: 16, ops: 0x0, OF: /pt_mipi_dsi2:amarula,pt-mipi-dsi
bridge[3] type: 16, ops: 0x0, OF: /pt_mipi_dsi3:amarula,pt-mipi-dsi
bridge[4] type: 16, ops: 0x0, OF: /pt_mipi_dsi4:amarula,pt-mipi-dsi
bridge[5] type: 16, ops: 0x0, OF: /pt_mipi_dsi5:amarula,pt-mipi-dsi
bridge[6] type: 16, ops: 0x8, OF: /pt_mipi_dsi5/panel@0:sharp,ls068b3sx02

The pre_enable_prev_first flag is set through the
"amarula,pre_enable_prev_first" dts property I put
in my dts.
Your and my patches give the same results (result: OK) in both your
use case and mine.
But If I test my new "enlarged" use case:

- Encoder
- bridge[0] (samsung-dsim)
- bridge[1] pre_enable_prev_first
- bridge[2] pre_enable_prev_first
- bridge[3] pre_enable_prev_first
- bridge[4] pre_enable_prev_first
- bridge[5] pre_enable_prev_first
- bridge[6] pre_enable_prev_first (Panel)

the result is:
my patches: KO
your patch: OK

So, I will remove my patches from the series.

Can the driver I implemented to test the use cases (pass through
MIPI-DSI) be considered useful for testing these
bridge pipelines?
Does it make sense to send its patch?

Thanks and regards
Dario
