Hi all,

Sorry that my patch seems to have broken things. It was using the 
generic synopsys dsi driver 
(drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/synopsys/dw-mipi-dsi.c) that I found the 
circular dependency fixed by my patch.

It appears that the patch has broken things for the platform specific 
synopsys dsi driver for Kirin. So another approach (though a lot more 
work) would be to switch Kirin over to using the generic synopsys dsi 
driver so that we have less redundancy in the tree.

Thanks,
Matt
