Yep, that's the one. I want to refactor mipi-dbi first splitting struct
mipi_dbi into an interface and display pipeline part. The helper is
going to be moved to drivers/gpu/drm with the other helpers.
Please wait until that is done, I want to see what kind of coupling I
end up between the two structs and don't want another dependency to deal
with if I can avoid it.

Noralf.
