It is documented that the mipi_dsi_host_ops transfer function should
be called with the host in any state [1], so the host driver is
failing there.

This sounds like the same issue I was addressing in adding the
prepare_prev_first flag to drm_panel, and pre_enable_prev_first to
drm_bridge via [2].
Defining prepare_prev_first for your panel would result in the host
pre_enable being called before the panel prepare, and therefore the
transfer calls from boe_panel_init_dcs_cmd boe_panel_prepare won't be
relying on the DSI host powering up early. It will also call the panel
unprepare before the DSI host bridge post_disable is called, and
therefore the DSI host will still be powered up and the transfer won't
fail.

Actually I've just noted the comment at [3]. [2] is that framework fix
that means that the magic workaround isn't required, but it will
require this panel to opt in to the ordering change.

Cheers.
