Re: [PATCH v1 2/2] drm/bridge/synopsys: dsi: Add a warning msg on dsi read operations

Hi Philippe,

I see you sent this out already today, while I only just responded
(late) to your questions about it... oh well :)

It feels like you should do this check *before* you start writing
anything. It's possible to have a combination TX/RX command, and it
would be counterintuitive to only do half the operation then return
with an argument error.

I'm not sure -EPERM is right. Feels like -EINVAL, -ENOSYS, or
-EOPNOTSUPP. I think -ENOSYS actually has been abused somewhat, so
maybe one of the other two.

Spurious blank line?

You don't actually need to put this sort of thing in the 'else' case.
The other branch is an error-handling case, which definitely 'return's
early, and it's pretty standard coding style to avoid indenting the
"good" path like this.
