Look like Maxime is correct. I2C based DSI bridge will get probe
during bridge_attach which usually called from bridge driver
bridge_attach call. Non-I2C bridges and DSI panels will get probe
during host.attach.
We do get similar situation for dw-mipi-dsi bridges, where icn6211
bridge is not I2C-based bridge and it gets probed in host_attach and
sn65dsi83 is I2C based bridge and it gets probed in bridge_attach.
Here is the simple call trace we have observed with dw-mipi-dsi bridge
when all possible DSI device are trying to probe.
1. DSI panels and bridges will invoke the host attach
from probe in order to find the panel_or_bridge.
chipone_probe()
dw_mipi_dsi_host_attach().start
dw_mipi_dsi_panel_or_bridge()
...found the panel_or_bridge...
ltdc_encoder_init().start
dw_mipi_dsi_bridge_attach().start
dw_mipi_dsi_host_attach().start
chipone_attach(). start
chipone_attach(). done
dw_mipi_dsi_host_attach().done
dw_mipi_dsi_bridge_attach(). done
ltdc_encoder_init().done
2. I2C based DSI bridge will invoke the drm_bridge_attach
from bridge attach in order to find the panel_or_bridge.
ltdc_encoder_init().start
dw_mipi_dsi_bridge_attach().start
dw_mipi_dsi_panel_or_bridge()
...found the panel_or_bridge...
dw_mipi_dsi_host_attach().start
sn65dsi83_attach(). start
sn65dsi83_attach(). done
dw_mipi_dsi_host_attach().done
dw_mipi_dsi_bridge_attach(). done
ltdc_encoder_init().done
It is correct that the I2C-based bridges will attach the host via
mipi_dsi_attach in driver bridge API where as it done in probe for
Non-I2C bridges and DSI panels.

Agreed, I'm trying to understand the several ways to fix this. Right
now I'm trying this on sun6i_mipi_dsi and exynos_drm_dsi. Will let you
know for any update and suggestions on the same.
Thanks,
Jagan.
