nit-pick: clk_disable(mipi_dsi->px_clk); should be enough here as my
understanding is that we only need to {un,}prepare a clock once.

If we ever hit this error case then there will be a lot of additional
errors in the kernel log:
- initially the clock is prepared and enabled in
meson_dw_mipi_dsi_probe() by calling devm_clk_get_enabled()
- we then disable the clock above (generally disabling a clock is
expected to always succeed)
- if the clock can NOT be re-enabled here we just log the error
- in case a user tries to rmmod the driver (to modprobe it again) to
try and recover from an error the automatic disabling of the pix_clk
(based on devm_clk_get_enabled() where it was enabled initially) there
will be a splat because the clock is already disabled (and enabled
count is zero, so it cannot be disabled any further)

For the 32-bit SoC video clocks I keep track of them being enabled or
disabled, see [0], [1] and [2].
In my case this is important because we can run into cases where the
PLL doesn't lock (I am not sure how likely this is for your case).

It *seems* like we need to do something similar as
dw_mipi_dsi_phy_init() can be called when changing the display
resolution (or whenever drm_bridge_funcs.atomic_pre_enable) is called.
To illustrate what I have in mind I attached a diff (it's based on
this patch) - it's compile tested only as I have no DSI hardware.
In case dw_mipi_dsi_phy_init() is called only once per device
lifecycle things may get easier.

PS: I'm so happy that we don't need any clock notifiers for this!
So: good work with the clock driver bits.


Let me know what you think,
Martin
