I think the reason to call of_drm_find_bridge in bind is to avoid probe
deferring, and with current code it will probably defer forever,
explanation below:

The only bridge connected to DSI is bridge provided by MIC driver, and
MIC driver is componentized, but it registers his bridge in bind callback.
So with drm_bridge_attach moved to probe of DSI initialization would
never succeed because:
1. MIC->bind will be called only if all DRM components are present.
2. DSI driver will defer probing because the bridge is not present, thus
DSI component will never be present.

So the current code looks better to me, but there are two thing which
could be improved:
A. Maybe it would be good thing to move MIC bridge registration to
probe, I see no reason to postpone it to bind phase, this way it should
be safer if for some reason DSI->bind callback would be called before
MIC->bind.
B. Add error checking to of_drm_find_bridge in DSI driver, I know MIC is
generally optional, but if the graph link is present (ie. 
dsi->bridge_node is valid) MIC bridge should be present, if it is not,
it indicates some problem.
