Right, so this is kind of tricky. If you do it in a "real" device
driver, you end up parsing the dt stuff in the probe, and then racing
the init callback. I figured it would be best just to do everything in
one place without races.
Hopefully I'm just missing a good way to solve this problem, any concrete ideas?

It can't. The DP driver just operates on its own and display either
comes up or it doesn't depending on whether fimd happens to be
initialized first. As I mentioned earlier, I have a patch set which
moves DP driver into drm/exynos and removes the display_ops from fimd.
That will fix this issue.
