I have just a single request here: can we please have the same approach 
for both DSI and DP? I don't mind changing DP code if it makes it 
better. If you don't have better reasons, I like the idea of DSI/DP 
dictating whether wide bus should be used on the particular interface. 
It allows us to handle possible errata or corner cases there. Another 
option would be to make DPU tell DSI / DP whether the wide bus is 
enabled or not, but I'd say, this is slightly worse solution.
