I've tested your changes on my A33 board, and this commit will break
it.

It creates vblank timeouts, and visual artifacts at the bottom of the
display.

Later commits seem to fix the issue, but will create some blanking on
the upper third of the display.

Since the documentation is quite sparse, and a MIPI-DSI analyzer is
way too expensive, I'd really like to have at least what each of these
commits are actually fixing, and what symptoms each of these were
causing, and not just "the BSP does it".

Having some datasheet for the panels you had working would help too.

Maxime
