Simplify the mipi dsi device creation process. device_initialize and
"MIPI" and "DSI", please.
device_add don't need to be called separately when creating mipi_dsi_device's. Use device_register instead to simplify things.
Create a helper function mipi_dsi_device_new which takes in struct mipi_dsi_device_info and mipi_dsi_host. It clubs the functions mipi_dsi_device_alloc and mipi_dsi_device_add into one.
mipi_dsi_device_info acts as a template to populate the dsi device information. This is populated by of_mipi_dsi_device_add and passed to mipi_dsi_device_new.
Later on, we'll provide mipi_dsi_device_new as a standalone way to create a dsi device not available via DT.
The new device creation process tries to closely follow what's been done in i2c_new_device in i2c-core.

To be honest, I'm not sure I like this. If you want to have a simpler helper, why not implement it using the lower-level helpers. Really the only thing you're doing here is add a high-level helper that takes an info struct, whereas previously the same would be done by storing the info directly in the structure between allocation and addition of the device.
Initially the implementation was following that of platform devices, I see no reason to deviate from that. What you want here can easily be done by something like:
struct mipi_dsi_device * mipi_dsi_device_register_full(struct mipi_dsi_host *host, const struct mipi_dsi_device_info *info) { struct mipi_dsi_device *dsi;
dsi = mipi_dsi_device_alloc(host); if (IS_ERR(dsi)) return dsi;
dsi->dev.of_node = info->node; dsi->channel = info->channel;
err = mipi_dsi_device_add(dsi); if (err < 0) { ... }
return dsi; }
