Hmm. At least on OMAP and DSI video mode, it is possible to change at
least timings on the fly. But yes, generally the link has to be disabled
first before changing any parameters.

The pin config with the struct above is done later, when the panel
driver configures the DSI bus. So in OMAP we have two distinct things
that need to be configured:
- The actual pin muxing, i.e. selecting the functions for pin N on the
OMAP package. The functions for a single pin could be for example GPIO
70, DSI DX0, UART1_CTS, etc. This is normally done once during board init.
- DSI pin configuration in the display subsystem. This is used to map
the pins to DSI functions. I.e. DSI DX0 pin is mapped to DATA1+. This is
done by the DSS driver, when the panel driver gives it the parameters.
So the first muxing basically assigns the pin to DSI in general, and
then DSI will internally route the pin to a an actual DSI function.
Whether the muxing needs to changed during runtime... I'm not sure. On
OMAP the DSI pin config also tells how many lanes are used. So if a DSI
panel would first want to use only one lane, and later change it to n
lanes, we'd need this kind of function.
I think it conceptually fits better if the pin config data is passed to
the panel via DT data, and the panel then gives the config to the DSI
master. It's just a part of the DSI bus parameters, like, say, clock
speed or whether to use HS or LP. That way the DT node for the panel
contains the information about the panel. (versus having pin config data
in the DSI master, in which case the DSI master's node contains data
about a specific DSI panel).
