Vertical video start delay is computed by excluding vertical front porch value from total vertical timings. This clearly confirmed from BSP code and here how it computed, (drivers/video/sunxi/disp2/disp/de/lowlevel_sun50iw1/de_dsi.c) u32 vfp = panel->lcd_vt - panel->lcd_y - panel->lcd_vbp; => (panel->lcd_vt) - panel->lcd_y - (panel->lcd_vbp) => (timmings->ver_front_porch + panel->lcd_vbp + panel->lcd_y) - panel->lcd_y - (panel->lcd_vbp) => timmings->ver_front_porch + panel->lcd_vbp + panel->lcd_y - panel->lcd_y - panel->lcd_vbp => timmings->ver_front_porch But the current driver is assuming it can exclude vertical front porch along with vertical sync values from total vertical timings, which resulting wrong start delay indeed wrong picture rendering in the panel. Example: timings, where it produces the issue. { .vdisplay = 600, .vsync_start = 600 + 12, .vsync_end = 600 + 12 + 2, .vtotal = 600 + 12 + 2 + 21, } It produces the desired start delay value as 19 but the correct working value should be 513. So, Fix it by computing proper video start delay.
