You don't.

You'd get a panel-bridge driver (drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/panel.c), that
behaves like a bridge and will call the panel functions itself.

And since it's a bridge, everything (enable, pre_enable, etc.) is called
by the core framework (in drm_atomic_helper_commit_modeset_enables for
enable and pre_enable).

You're confusing two things. Our comment wasn't that this DSI needed to
be converted to a bridge itself (which is what you're talking about),
but that it needs to use the bridge API instead of the panel API to deal
with whatever is connected at the other end of the DSI link.
