Hi Thierry,

Sorry for the late response.
I tried to address almost all your comments locally first.
More feedback below.

No. The muxing is inside the i.MX SoC.
There is a DT binding documentation for the system controller node(gpr)
at [1]. And, for i.MX DT sources, there are several existing use cases 
in which the gpr node is referred by other nodes.

[1] Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/syscon.txt.

Ok, I'll move the timing to the panel driver.

How about moving this to include/drm/drm_mipi_dsi.h as an inline
function?

Accepted.

In the next version ->host_attach(), I will check the peripheral
compatibility.  Also, I'll get the panel by calling of_drm_find_panel(), 
and then call the drm_panel_attach() function.
Do you think this is okay?

I looked at the helper. It seems it's not quite straightforward for me
to use it here.  The message type here defined by GEN_HTYPE() is 8bit
long, while the helper seems to take it as 6bit long?

Ok. I'll use sizeof(*tx_buf).

Good catch.  I'll make it to be a single loop and avoid accessing memory
that I shouldn't in the next version.

I'll return connector_status_disconnected directly here. Is it okay?

Accepted. I'll check the dsi format compatibility in ->host_attach().
And, how about changing the default patch to be this?

Yes, the hardware supports other modes according to it's register
definition.
I prefer not to parameterize at present as I do reject devices with 
other modes now.
