Hi,

is there any reason drm-mipi-dsi can't be a module? It's fixed as a built-in since its Kconfig is bool.

Probably none except embedded folks eshew modules ;-) Submit patch, I'll apply.

Possibly this?

postcore_initcall(mipi_dsi_bus_init);

If I remember correctly, the only reason for this is to have mipi_dsi bus registered before mipi_dsi drivers, which usually are registered at module initcall. But maybe bus registration can be performed at first mipi_dsi driver registration. This way we could modularize it.
