I tested the DSI today on an RPI3, and I had to fix an issue with the
HVS-PV muxing, but otherwise it works with this series. Otherwise, the
HDMI and TXP work on the Pi3 too, I'll give a try to the VGA adapter on
it next week to test DPI too.

As a side note, my DSI display without my patches gives DSI transfer
timeouts at boot, since at least (mainline) 5.4, I haven't tested
further back. It just stalls the modeset for a while, but the display
works fine after that.

Does that ring any bell?
