Here is a summary of different SoCs TCON:
With DCLK_Sel:
0x0 => normal phase
0x1 => 1/3 phase
0x2 => 2/3 phase

A10, A20

With DCLK_Sel:
0x0 => normal phase
0x1 => 1/3 phase
0x2 => 2/3 phase
0x5 => DCLK/2 phase 0
0x4 => DCLK/2 phase 90

A31, A31s, A33, A80, A83T

Also I've found that TCON1 has not this feature,
nor first, nor second case(at least is not described on user manuals).

So I could handle differently according to SoC.
Unfortunately there is not TCON register keeping IP version,
so the only way I see is to create a long if-or statement to understand
which kind of TCON we're using.

But what sounds not the best to me, is that DCLK is divided by 2 if
using phase 90. So we need to reconsider also bitclock driver according
to this.
I don't know if it make sense.

IMHO, I would keep only:
- As normal => "0x1 => 1/3 phase"
- As inverted => "0x0 => normal phase"

According to scope captures above on both A20 and A33.
Unfortunately I don't have other boards for the other SoCs to take captures.

What do you think?
