Any reason why this is in the tinydrm subdirectory? Looks like this
could be useful to drivers outside of it.

Should these perhaps be defined in include/video/mipi_display.h since
that already defines the MIPI_DCS_GET_POWER_MODE that this is used with?

Agreed.

I feel obligated to object to this because I objected to the same macro
when Andrzej wanted to add the same macro for MIPI DSI. But since I'm
apparently the only one that doesn't like this, maybe it's time for me
to embrace this.

I think that's less interesting for MIPI DSI now that we have specific
functions for most standard DCS commands anyway. That also avoids the
need to have a list of read functions like here.

I guess the question is if it feels like too much duplication to have
the DCS commands as functions also for DBI. And whether it's worth
trying to deduplicate DSI and DBI in this case, or if it gets just too
confusing/complicated.

The problem with this is that we can't possible have all accesses
covered by specific functions. Most of the calls using this function or
macro are for panel-specific commands that often take an arbitrary
number of arguments.

I personally think that Maxime's implementation for ST7789V is somewhat
nicer, though it would require some more work for DSI and DBI to have it
all stashed into a single buffer for the transfer.

Anyway, my main concern with these is that we need to allow for proper
error handling, and the above correctly propagates error codes, so the
matter that it's a macro with a variable argument list and might store
potentially huge arrays on the stack could be addressed when they
become really problematic, rather than just annoying me because they
aren't pretty.

You can always add compile time check for sequence length to the macro
[1]. Other thing is that sequence is often constant, in such case, to
save few bits of space, it can be stored in 'static const' array, but
for this array passed to mipi_dbi_command_buf should be constant. And of
course it requires another macro.
