Subject: [PATCH v2 0/9] drm: Switch from dev_err to dev_err_probe for
 missing DSI host error path

This series changes every occurence of the following pattern: 

	dsi_host = of_find_mipi_dsi_host_by_node(dsi);
	if (!dsi_host) {
		dev_err(dev, "failed to find dsi host\n");
		return -EPROBE_DEFER;
	}

into

	dsi_host = of_find_mipi_dsi_host_by_node(dsi);
	if (!dsi_host)
		return dev_err_probe(dev, -EPROBE_DEFER, "failed to find dsi host\n");

This registers the defer probe reason (so it can later be printed by the
driver core or checked on demand through the devices_deferred file in
debugfs) and prevents errors to be spammed in the kernel log every time
the driver retries to probe, unnecessarily alerting userspace about
something that is a normal part of the boot process.

I have omitted a Fixes: tag in the last patch, for the truly-nt35597
panel, because it predates the dev_err_probe() helper.

Changes in v2:
- Added patches 2 onwards to fix all occurences of this pattern instead
  of just for the anx7625 driver
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240226-anx7625-defer-log-no-dsi-host-v1-1-242b1af31884@collabora.com
