[PATCH] drm/panel: novatek-nt36672a: Convert to mipi_dsi_*_multi() helpers
From: Chintan Patel
Date: Sun Feb 22 2026 - 23:35:14 EST
Convert the driver to use the non-deprecated mipi_dsi_*_multi()
helpers and mipi_dsi_msleep().
This removes open-coded error handling and relies on
mipi_dsi_multi_context for error accumulation.
In unprepare(), reset the accumulated error between
set_display_off and enter_sleep_mode to preserve the
existing power-down sequencing semantics.
