Ah, I see what happened. The first patch did not have freedreno CCed but 
the second one did.

So freedreno PW got confused thinking , hey where is the first patch? :)

https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/112824/

And so did I :)

Perhaps freedreno should be CCed on both patches because its a series.

No sure what I am missing here but I certainly dont see 
msm_dsi_host_disable_irq() being part of any error handling labels which 
made me think you fixed that.

Yes thats right.

Sounds good to me.
