[PATCH v2 1/8] Revert "drm/vc4: dsi: Only register our component once a DSI device is attached"

[Maxime Ripard]

This reverts commit 7213246a803f9b8da0677adb9ae06a3d8b806d02.

The commit 7213246a803f ("drm/vc4: dsi: Only register our component once
a DSI device is attached") aimed at preventing an endless probe loop
between the DSI host driver and its panel/bridge where both would wait
for each other to probe.

The solution implemented in that commit however relies on the fact that
MIPI-DSI device will either be a MIPI-DSI device, or would call
mipi_dsi_device_register_full() at probe time.

This assumption isn't true for bridges though where most drivers will do
so in the bridge attach hook. However, the drm_bridge_attach is usually
called in the DSI host bind hook, and thus we never get this far,
resulting in a DSI bridge that will never have its attach run, and the
DSI host that will never be bound, effectively creating the same
situation we were trying to avoid for panels.
