With my patch samsung_dsim_init() now initializes the DSIM to stop
state. When being called from samsung_dsim_atomic_pre_enable() this
works as the stop state is cleared later in samsung_dsim_atomic_enable().

When being called from samsung_dsim_host_transfer() to handle transfers
before samsung_dsim_atomic_pre_enable() was called, the stop state is
never cleared and transfers will fail.

This is the case in your setup as tc358762_init() is called in
tc358762_pre_enable().

I think that requiring to initialize the DSI host during transfer could
be avoided in this case by moving tc358762_init() from
tc358762_pre_enable() to tc358762_enable().

But at the same time according to the docs at [1] this seems to be a
valid case that we need to support in the DSIM driver:

  Whilst it is valid to call host_transfer prior to pre_enable or
  after post_disable, the exact state of the lanes is undefined at
  this point. The DSI host should initialise the interface, transmit
  the data, and then disable the interface again.

Therefore I would propose to try a fix like in the attachement. If you
could test this, that would be great.

Thanks
Frieder
