Re: [PATCH v2 1/2] drm/bridge/synopsys: dsi: use common mipi_dsi_create_packet()

[Brian Norris <briannorris@chromium.org>]

Hi all,

I believe Philippe's comments about return values have been addressed
separately, and this patch was applied to drm-misc-next. But I have one
additional thought below.

By removing this default case, I'm hiding the fact that this driver
doesn't currently implement RX support at all -- only TX. (Previously,
if presented with, e.g., a MIPI_DSI_GENERIC_READ_REQUEST_0_PARAM, the
driver would reject it. Now it will silently fail to return it.)

I believe some Rockchip folks have preliminary RX support implemented
somewhere, so we might consider merging that, or else re-introducing a
failure case to catch the unimplemented RX support.
