The mipi_dsi_dcs_*() functions used by this driver are deprecated
in favour of their _multi() counterparts, as noted in
Documentation/gpu/todo.rst. The _multi() variants record the
first error in a context structure and skip subsequent calls once
an error is set, removing the need to check the return value
after each command. They also log failures internally, making the
per-call dev_err() calls redundant.
Convert prepare(), enable(), disable(), and unprepare() to use
mipi_dsi_dcs_*_multi().
unprepare() previously returned an error if
mipi_dsi_dcs_enter_sleep_mode() failed, skipping RESET assertion
and regulator_disable(). Because drm_panel_unprepare() does not
clear panel->prepared when the callback returns an error,
drm_panel_prepare() would then return early on the next call,
leaving the panel powered and unable to be re-initialised. The
converted code always asserts RESET, disables the regulator, and
returns 0.
Also fix a typo in a comment ("Enabe" -> "Enable").

Compile tested only, no hardware available. checkpatch and a W=1
build are clean.

Ok why not keeping the original:
struct mipi_dsi_device *dsi = to_mipi_dsi_device(s6->dev);
struct mipi_dsi_multi_context dsi_ctx = { .dsi = dsi };
It's much easier to read, for me at least, but I won't block it...

Add a comment you ignore the the dsi_ctx.accum_err and it's fine
