Actually no. If anything, mode_set callback should be dropped entirely:

See https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/include/drm/drm_bridge.h#L231

It's deprecated, and enable callback should just use adjusted_mode:

This is deprecated, do not use! New drivers shall set their mode in the
&drm_bridge_funcs.atomic_enable operation.

This mentions new drivers ?

commit 05aa61334592 ("drm: bridge: dw-mipi-dsi: Fix enable/disable of DSI
controller") as it breaks STM32MP15xx LTDC scanout (DSI)->TC358762 DSI-to-DPI
bridge->PT800480 DPI panel pipeline. The original fix for HX8394 panel likely
requires HX8394 panel side fix instead.

There's nothing wrong with the panel driver. And that commit is not fixing issue
with the panel driver, just like the subject hints at. Look at the referenced
commit, at "Before:" sequence specifically.

dw_mipi_dsi_mode_set may be named *_mode_set or whatever, but it's basically
an enable function that turns on clocks, initalizes phy, etc. etc.

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/synopsys/dw-mipi-dsi.c#L998

And if you check "Before:" sequence, you'll see that .mode_set callback is just
called once at boot and never again. And it's atomic(_pre)_enable/atomic(_post)_disable
callbacks that actually are called in ballanced way to enable/disable the
controller repeatedly ever after.

Function dw_mipi_dsi_bridge_post_atomic_disable is the inverse of
dw_mipi_dsi_mode_set, it undoes everything that dw_mipi_dsi_mode_set does.

You need to find root cause for your issue on STM32MP15xx instead of reverting
fixes for resource use bugs in this driver.

Actually, reverting commit 05aa61334592 ("drm: bridge: dw-mipi-dsi: Fix enable/disable of DSI controller") makes the STM32MP15xx work again like it used to since Linux 5.10 or so, so that commit breaks existing working use case.

It seems it is sufficient to revert only this part of the commit to make the STM32MP15xx work as it used to, do you have any idea why ?
