This feels a bit hacky:

- The function is dispc_enable_oldi, but the above code also disables 
oldi. We have code in dispc_vp_unprepare() which disables OLDI at the 
moment.

- The function takes hw_videoport as a parameter, and is designed to 
work on that videoport. The above operates on two videoports. Isn't the 
function also called for hw_videoport +1, which would result in reg 
writes to hw_videoport + 2?

- No matching code in dispc_vp_unprepare

Obviously the duplicate mode (I presume that's "cloning") and the dual 
link complicate things here, and I have to say I haven't worked with 
such setups. But I think somehow this should be restructured so that 
common configuration (common to the OLDIs) is done somewhere else.

I would guess that there are other drivers that support cloning and dual 
mode. Did you have a look how they handle things?
