So I've tested this and it actually adds a margin on the left side of
the panel, which seems to indicate that one of the porches isn't
right. I've applied Jagan's patches to fix the backporch and front
porch inversions, and it doesn't fix anything, so even though I don't
really know why, this seems to be the actual backporch.

It's really hard to tell without a DSI analyzer though, but that's not
really affordable...

Good catch, thanks!

Indeed, I'll fix it.

This code was here already, but it's a valid point. I'm not sure what
the DSI spec tells in that case. I'll have a look.

I actually found out that Allwinner tells that it's the total - the
sync pulse - the blank overhead (so 10 bytes).

I'll update it.

Thanks!
