Hi,

Sorry for delay, I was on a sick leave last 2 weeks.

Well, frankly speaking the double initialization is not a correct 
sequence, but this is the only one that actually works on Exynos based 
boards with DSI panels after moving the initialization to bridge's 
.prepare() callback. I've already explained this and shared the results 
of my investigation in my replies to the previous versions of this 
patchset. The original Exynos DSI driver does the initialization on the 
first DSI command. This however doesn't work for Jagan with I2C 
controlled panels/bridges, so he moved the initialization to the 
.prepare() callback, what broke the Exynos case (in-short - all tested 
panels works fine only if the DSI host initialization is done AFTER 
turning the panel's power on). For more information, see this thread: 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/e96197f9-948a-997e-5453-9f9d179b5f5a@samsung.com/

Now, the more I think of it, the more I'm convinced that we simply 
should add a hack based on the HW type: do the initialization in 
.prepare() for non-Exynos case and before the first transfer for the 
Exynos case, as there is no way to detect the panel/next bridge type 
(I2C or DSI controlled).
