Samsung S5PC210 and EXYNOS SoC platform has MIPI-DSI controller and MIPI-DSI
based LCD Panel could be used with it. This patch supports MIPI-DSI driver
based Samsung SoC chip.

LCD panel driver based MIPI-DSI should be registered to MIPI-DSI driver at
machine code and LCD panel driver specific function registered to mipi_dsim_ddi
structure at lcd panel init function called system init.
In the MIPI-DSI driver, find lcd panel driver by using registered
lcd panel name, and then initialize lcd panel driver.

Changes since v6:
	- remove obscure compile problems.
	- remove useless codes.
	- modify return errno codes properly

One more comment about 'mipi_dsim.h', it would be better to put it in
include/video and not 'include/linux'.

Yes, that is desirable.

or we could put it in drivers/video/.  It all depends on which other
drivers we expect will need access to this header.
