panel hook at the probe call would be wrong. the downstream bridge
will call mipi_dsi_attach for finding the connected upstream, so it
indeed calls host.attach. If we move the panel hook at the probe, then
probing will defer.

[   12.046862] platform 32e10000.dsi: deferred probe pending
[   12.052309] platform 32e00000.lcdif: deferred probe pending

What is the problem to have it in host.attach for both cases? some DSI
host bridges still do the same (mtk_dsi) and this is what is mentioned
in documentation point 2 and 3 here,
https://dri.freedesktop.org/docs/drm/gpu/drm-kms-helpers.html#special-care-with-mipi-dsi-bridges

"
The upstream driver doesn’t use the component framework, but is a
MIPI-DSI host. The bridge device uses the MIPI-DCS commands to be
controlled. In this case, the bridge device is a child of the display
device and when it will probe it’s assured that the display device
(and MIPI-DSI host) is present. The upstream driver will be assured
that the bridge driver is connected between the
mipi_dsi_host_ops.attach and mipi_dsi_host_ops.detach operations.
Therefore, it must run mipi_dsi_host_register() in its probe function,
and then run drm_bridge_attach() in its mipi_dsi_host_ops.attach hook.

The upstream driver uses the component framework and is a MIPI-DSI
host. The bridge device uses the MIPI-DCS commands to be controlled.
This is the same situation than above, and can run
mipi_dsi_host_register() in either its probe or bind hooks.
"

Point 2 for Exynos and 3 for imx8m flow, for both the cases
drm_bridge_attach in host_ops.attach hook so the panel hook must be in
same place.

Thanks,
Jagan.
