Hi Marek,

In order to avoid any probe ordering issue, the best practice is to move
the secondary MIPI-DSI device registration and attachment to the
MIPI-DSI host at probe time.
Besides solving the probe ordering problems, this makes the bridge work
with R-Car DU. The R-Car DU will attempt to locate the DSI host bridge in
its own rcar_du_probe()->rcar_du_modeset_init()->rcar_du_encoder_init()
by calling of_drm_find_bridge() which calls of_drm_find_and_get_bridge()
and iterates over bridge_list to locate the DSI host bridge.
However, unless the WS driver calls mipi_dsi_attach() in probe(), the
DSI host bridge .attach callback rcar_mipi_dsi_host_attach() is not
called and the DSI host bridge is not added into bridge_list. Therefore
the of_drm_find_and_get_bridge() called from du_probe() will never find
the DSI host bridge and probe will indefinitelly fail with -EPROBE_DEFER.
The circular dependency here is, that if rcar_du_encoder_init() would
manage to find the DSI host bridge, it would call the WS driver .attach
callback ws_bridge_bridge_attach(), but this is too late and can never
happen. This change avoids the circular dependency.

Thanks for the very clear description! R-by confirmed.
Can this be applied now ?
