Hi William,

Thanks for catching this.

I think it'd be more accurate if the commit text is something like:

drm/mipi: set fwnode when a mipi_dsi_device is registered

This allows the fw_devlink feature to work across mipi_dsi bus devices too. This
feature avoid unnecessary probe deferrals of mipi_dsi devices, defers
consumers of
mipi_dsi devices till the mipi_dsi devices probe, and allows mipi_dsi drivers to
implement sync_state() callbacks.
