Sure, this looks pretty good.

For bonus points, I think you could change novatek_nt37801_on() to
return "void" and take a "struct mipi_dsi_multi_context". Since
drm_dsc_pps_payload_pack() is harmless, the function can now just be:

  novatek_nt37801_on(&dsi_ctx);
  drm_dsc_pps_payload_pack(&pps, &ctx->dsc);
  mipi_dsi_picture_parameter_set_multi(&dsi_ctx, &pps);
  mipi_dsi_compression_mode_multi(&dsi_ctx, true);
  if (dsi_ctx.accum_err) {
    ...
  }
