Hi Chris,
thanks for your patch!
overall this looks very good. Just some nitpicks.

I am always a bit careful with these "Samsung" panels. Well the
panel is surely Samsungs and usually it has that name, but very often
it is mainly a display controller, made by someone else, then a physical
panel slapped on and then the actual display controller is obscured.
Typical example:
panel-novatek-nt35560.c handing Samsung ACX424AKP.
If you know the actual display controller, then the driver should be
renamed after that, but keeping the compatible and DT bindings
as is. The reason being that tomorrow there is an LG panel
using the same display controller and then we don't get duplicate
code.
It feels like this is a Novatek controller. Just a feeling I have.
Mostly from the way it does brightness using ELVSS and
gamma. But who knows.

Nice that you use these helpers!

Hm. We get to this.

Drop this and associated code. The framework keeps track of this.

For cases like this where you know what the command does,
please add:
#define MCS_SET_GAMMA 0xf9
(MCS = Manufacturer Command Set, cf
drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-samsung-s6e63m0.h)
and collect them somewhere, then you can drop the comment
because it is self-evident what is going on.

Same.

As mentioned skip this.

Do you really need to if() this? I thought the regulator
framework would just ignore the calls for an optional
regulator.

Use the #defines from:
drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-samsung-s6e63m0.h
I'm pretty sure they mean the same thing:
#define MCS_LEVEL_2_KEY 0xf0
#define MCS_MTP_KEY 0xf1

Define MCS_ commands.

Dito

I think you should probably set the preferred mode even
if there are several of them? But maybe just on the first
or something. (A bit unsure here, Sam?)

I would request this GPIOD_OUT_HIGH so reset is asserted on probe.

And this GPIOD_OUT_LOW so panel is disabled after probe.

I don't get this part.
Why do you have to go through all this trouble when no other panel
drivers, not even the other SPI DBI panel drivers, does this?
drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge() should typically result in the core
doing all the lookup and connecting for you from the host side
should it not?
At the very least this requires a big comment about what is
going on and why and what makes this necessary.
I can only guess the following:

Pixel data passes to the display using DSI but all display control
is done over SPI, and the core will not help with this.
So from the display controller POV this is a DSI display
and from the display POV this is an SPI-controlled display.
So it sits on two buses. Data path is on DSI, control path
is on SPI.
This would be kind of odd actually, normally DSI displays
do the display control over DSI as well. SPI control is usually
used on DPI displays. But I'm not surprised.
If this is necessary, isn't this something we need to teach the
core to handle instead of adding quirks like this to all drivers that
have this characteristic?
Yours,
