Yeah, access DSI controller registers is through AHB bus.

I'm a little confused, DSI panel node should be a child of the display
controller?
I found a lot of cases are organized like this, we also do like it.

Yeah, dsi_out port is no need, should be detele.
Besides, I also have a question, if out dsi-phy is separate driver(eg,
dphy have it's own bus)
dsi_out port should be "dphy_in"?
