Yes, I've been running this patch for months.  It's possible that I have
another patch that is needed to get this to work correctly (I have a
whole set of Rockchip MIPI patches that I need to find time to submit,
for now I've pushed a branch to Github [1]).

I don't know what you mean about the panel probe requesting
mipi_dsi_host_register, the panel probe calls mipi_dsi_attach() and is
itself called from mipi_dsi_host_register().  My patch doesn't change
this at all, the only change is that if the panel driver is not
available, then the probe fails.  Later, once the panel driver has been
registered the probe will succeed.  This is no different from the
current behaviour if the order of probing drivers happens to load the
panel before dw-mipi-dsi.
