Hi Brian,

And many thanks for your review.

Not sure to follow you here: mipi_dsi_generic_read() will trig a dsi 
generic read so it has to return "the number of bytes received for read 
packets" as explained for the ->transfer() function... so it looks 
"coherent"...

But maybe you want to point out something different?

The main reason why I want to "fix" this is because I do not want to 
explain to our customers (writing dsi panel drivers) why we have a 
different returned value compare to other platforms : )

Thanks, I agree, I will write & send a simpler version.
