We don't have the stallmode for all channels. And on OMAP2 it's for
RFBI, and I don't know if that needs different thresholds or not. Also,
I'm not sure if OMAP4-5 DSI needs this. And I think it's good to mention
the unknown bug in the comment too. And yes, it's unknown to me too, I
never figured it out. These thresholds just seemed to work, while the
default did not.

So I think we need to check that the platform is OMAP3 and channel is
LCD. We can later extend that to cover OMAP4-5 if needed.
