The consensus of many DRM folks is that we want to move away from DSI drivers defining tables of init commands. Instead, we want to move to init functions that can use common DRM functions. The issue thus far has been that using the macros mipi_dsi_generic_write_seq() and mipi_dsi_dcs_write_seq() bloats the driver using them. While trying to solve bloat, we realized that the majority of the it was easy to solve. This series solves the bloat for existing drivers by moving the printout outside of the macro. During discussion of my v1 patch to fix the bloat [1], we also decided that we really want to change the way that drivers deal with init sequences to make it clearer. In addition to being cleaner, a side effect of moving drivers to the new style reduces bloat _even more_. This series also contains a few minor fixes / cleanups that I found along the way. This series converts four drivers over to the new mipi_dsi_dcs_write_seq_multi() function. Not all conversions have been tested, but hopefully they are straightforward enough. I'd appreciate testing. NOTE: In v3 I tried to incorporate the feedback from v2. I also converted the other two panels I could find that used table-based initialization.

Thanks Doug! I think we all agree on the core changes, now I think we can wait a few weeks and try to get some test feedbacks on the indirectly and directly affected panels, drm-misc-next won't be merged into linux-next until v6.10-rc1 anyway so we have some time to test on our boards. Neil
