Subject: [PATCH v3 0/9] 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 four drivers over to the new
mipi_dsi_dcs_write_seq_multi() function. Not all conversions have been
tested, but hopefully they are straightforward enough. I'd appreciate
testing.

NOTE: In v3 I tried to incorporate the feedback from v2. I also
converted the other two panels I could find that used table-based
initialization.

Changes in v3:
- ("mipi_dsi_*_write functions don't need to ratelimit...") moved earlier.
- Add a TODO item for cleaning up the deprecated macros/functions.
- Fix spacing of init function.
- Inline kerneldoc comments for struct mipi_dsi_multi_context.
- Rebased upon patch to remove ratelimit of prints.
- Remove an unneeded error print.
- Squash boe-tv101wum-nl6 lowercase patch into main patch
- Use %zd in print instead of casting errors to int.
- drm/panel: ili9882t: Don't use a table for initting panels
- drm/panel: innolux-p079zca: Don't use a table for initting panels

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