Do we agree that this patch series (patch 1 and 2 combined) does not
change this behavior compared to the current state?

Currently, because sn65dsi83_reset_pipe() always returns 0, we call
enable_irq() even if we cannot reset the pipe. So I am not changing
behavior.

I agree, that this might not be the right approach, but it makes more
sense to me to address that specifically on top of the change in this
patch, so we can all agree on what we are changing and why.

Can we keep this commit?

Should I add a new patch that makes the change to this series, or is it
okay to postpone this to later?

Or alternatively, do you want me to drop this patch? And if so, I guess
we should at least add some comment to the next patch about the behavior
change that it introduces in sn65dsi83_reset_work().
