Subject: [PATCH v2 0/8] drm/mipi-dsi: Reduce bloat and add funcs for cleaner init seqs

The consensus of many DRM folks is that we want to move away from DSI
drivers defining tables of init commands. Instead, we want to move to
init functions that can use common DRM functions. The issue thus far
has been that using the macros mipi_dsi_generic_write_seq() and
mipi_dsi_dcs_write_seq() bloats the driver using them.

While trying to solve bloat, we realized that the majority of the it
was easy to solve. This series solves the bloat for existing drivers
by moving the printout outside of the macro.

During discussion of my v1 patch to fix the bloat [1], we also decided
that we really want to change the way that drivers deal with init
sequences to make it clearer. In addition to being cleaner, a side
effect of moving drivers to the new style reduces bloat _even more_.

This series also contains a few minor fixes / cleanups that I found
along the way.

This series converts two drivers over to the new
mipi_dsi_dcs_write_seq_multi() function. I don't have any hardware
that uses the mipi_dsi_generic_write_seq() function to test with, so I
haven't converted anything over to use that. The conversions are
straightforward but I'd appreciate testing.

Changes in v2:
- drm/mipi-dsi: Fix theoretical int overflow in mipi_dsi_dcs_write_seq()
- drm/mipi-dsi: Fix theoretical int overflow in mipi_dsi_generic_write_seq()
- Add some comments to the macros about printing and returning.
- Modify commit message now that this is part of a series.
- Change the way err value is handled in prep for next patch.
- Rebased upon patches to avoid theoretical int overflow.
- drm/mipi-dsi: Introduce mipi_dsi_*_write_seq_multi()
- drm/mipi-dsi: mipi_dsi_*_write functions don't need to ratelimit prints
- drm/panel: novatek-nt36672e: Switch to mipi_dsi_dcs_write_seq_multi()
- drm/panel: boe-tv101wum-nl6: Don't use a table for initting commands
- drm/panel: boe-tv101wum-nl6: Convert hex to lowercase
