Fix bug in novatek-nt35560 driver's nt35560_set_brightness() which
causes the driver to incorrectly report that it "failed to disable
display backlight".

Add mipi_dsi_dcs_read_multi() to drm_mipi_dsi.c for improved error
handling in drivers which use mipi_dsi_dcs_read() multiple times in a
row. Add mipi_dsi_dcs_write_var_seq_multi() and
mipi_dsi_generic_write_var_seq_multi() to drm_mipi_dsi.h to allow
drivers to more conveniently construct MIPI payloads at runtime.

Clean up novatek-nt35560 driver to use "multi" variants of MIPI.

Changes to v3:
 - Fix incorrect Fixes tag. The bug was introduced by an earlier commit.
 - Minor formatting improvements.

Changes to v2:
 - Separate bug fix into its own commit for backporting.
 - Add var_seq_multi() variants of MIPI write macros for sending
   non-static MIPI messages.
 - Minor formatting improvements.
