Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Low] Adding a `dual_panel` flag to `mipi_dsi_device` forces individual panel drivers to handle system-level display topology, violating the separation of concerns.

drm/mipi-dsi: Add flag to support dual-panel configurations

This commit introduces a dual_panel flag to the mipi_dsi_device struct.
This allows a panel driver to inform the DSI host that it is part of a
dual-panel setup, treating two independent physical panels as a single
logical display.

[Severity: Low]
Does introducing this flag to the mipi_dsi_device struct force individual
panel drivers to manage system-level display topology? 

Grouping two independent physical panels into a single logical display is a
system-level integration detail. Typically, panel drivers should not be
responsible for understanding system-wide topologies. 

Could this information be determined by the display framework instead,
such as by parsing the Device Tree graph to see if two DSI hosts are
routed to a single CRTC? This might prevent an architectural layering
violation and maintain driver reusability across different system
configurations.
