drm/vc4: dsi: Fix the driver structure lifetime
The vc4_dsi structure is currently allocated through a device-managed
allocation. This can lead to use-after-free issues however in the unbinding
path since the DRM entities will stick around, but the underlying structure
has been freed.

However, we can't just fix it by using a DRM-managed allocation like we did
for the other drivers since the DSI case is a bit more intricate.

Indeed, the structure will be allocated at probe time, when we don't have a
DRM device yet, to be able to register the DSI bus driver. We will then
reuse it at bind time to register our KMS entities in the framework.

In order to work around both constraints, we can use a kref to track the
users of the structure (DSI host, and KMS), and then put our structure when
the DSI host will have been unregistered, and through a DRM-managed action
that will execute once we won't need the KMS entities anymore.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
