We can have devices where the data bus is MIPI DSI, but the control bus
is something else (i2c, spi etc). A typical example is i2c controlled
encoder bridge chips.

Such devices too require passing DSI specific parameters (number of data
lanes, DSI mode flags, color format etc) to their DSI host. For a device
that isn't 'mipi_dsi_device', there is no way of passing such parameters.

Provide the option of creating a dummy DSI device. The main purpose of
this would be to attach to a DSI host by calling mipi_dsi_attach, and
pass DSI params.

Create mipi_dsi_new_dummy for creating a dummy dsi device. The driver
calling this needs to be aware of the mipi_dsi_host it wants to attach
to, and also the DSI virtual channel the DSI device intends to use.

Is this kind of fuzzy matching used in other dummy devs? It looks little bit
scary. You
can at least replace

strstr(dev_name(dev), "dummy_dev"))

with

strstr(dev_name(dev), ".dummy_dev."))

Anyway, currently it should not break anything, am I right?

I took i2c's dummy dev creation as reference. The i2c_driver struct has
an id_table param, that allows the match function (i2c_device_match) to
not have a special case to check for a dummy device.

We could a 'id_table' entry in mipi_dsi_driver, and a 'name' entry in
mipi_dsi_device. But that would be a bit of an overkill just to support
dummy devices.

I could make the check more thorough by adding a func which does
something similar to 'i2c_verify_client', but I think we would
still need the above string.

I will change "dummy_dev" to ".dummy_dev.". I grepped the kernel for
devices named "dummy_dev", but didn't find anything as such, so it
shouldn't really break anything.

I suppose these callbacks are optional, so you can omit them.

Right. I will remove these.

Thanks for the review.
