Actually this breaks all existing users of this driver, see below.

This is using the OF node of the DSI device, which is a direct child of
the DSI host's OF node. There is no OF graph involved.

However, this function expects to find the panel using OF graph. This
does not work with existing device trees (PinePhone, PineTab) which do
not use OF graph to connect the panel. And it cannot work, because the
DSI host's binding specifies a single port: the input port from the
display engine.
