I'm a little confused. As of the latest drm-misc-next I'm looking at,
this still has conflicting documentation.

For ->transfer():

On success it shall return the number of bytes
 * transmitted for write packets or the number of bytes received for read
 * packets.

While mipi_dsi_generic_read() says:

 * Return: The number of bytes successfully read or a negative error code on
 * failure.

But it just returns the value that ->transfer() returns.

So I'm not sure whether the documentation is still wrong, or if the
implementation is.

Anyway, I guess maybe that isn't super-critical to *this* patch, since
we don't have RX support yet...

It feels like you could just wait to add that when you need it? It
really feels trivial and useless right now :)
