[RFC v2 4/5] drm/dsi: Add routine to unregister dsi device

[Archit Taneja]

A driver calling mipi_dsi_device_new might want to unregister the device
once it's done. It might also require it in an error handling path in
case something didn't go right.

When the dsi host driver calls mipi_dsi_host_unregister, the devices
created by both DT and and without DT will be removed. This does leave
the possibility of the host removing the dsi device without the
peripheral driver being aware of it. I don't know a good way to solve
this. Some suggestions here would be of help too.
