Maxime is not doubting you. He is saying that you need to include the
detailed explanation in your commit log, and not just reference pieces
of code. This is separate from the requirement of having a correct patch.

Providing just a mathematical formula isn't enough either, because it
is not clear to the average reader which term expanded into what. A
better way to do is to first provide the definition of each term in
a form easy to understand, such as the following:

    List of LCD parameters as defined by Allwinner, explained using terms
    from the DRM subsystem:

      - lcd_ht: horizontal total size
      - lcd_x: horizontal display size
      - lcd_hbp: horizontal sync + backporch

Or better yet, copy the diagram from drm_modes.h and add lcd_* to the bottom
to show the differences.

    <-------------------------------- lcd_[hv]t ----------------------------->
    <----- lcd_[xy] -------->                  <-------- lcd_[hv]bp --------->

             Active                 Front           Sync           Back
             Region                 Porch                          Porch
    <-----------------------><----------------><-------------><-------------->
      //////////////////////|
     ////////////////////// |
    //////////////////////  |..................               ................
                                               _______________
    <----- [hv]display ----->
    <------------- [hv]sync_start ------------>
    <--------------------- [hv]sync_end --------------------->
    <-------------------------------- [hv]total ----------------------------->


Then you can go on explain what effect the difference in the definition of
"backporch" has on the piece of code you are fixing:

    The DSI driver misinterpreted the hbp term from the BSP code to refer
    only to the backporch, when in fact it was backporch + sync. Thus the
    driver incorrectly used the horizontal front porch plus sync in its
    calculation of the DRQ value, when it should not have included the sync
    period.

The above explains how you came to create your fix. At this point you don't
even need to include the mathematical formulas anymore.

The why you already explained, the flip_done time outs. The result you haven't
explained, but it can be as simple as:

    With the terms fixed, the panel displays correctly without any timeouts.

Hope this explains clearly what is needed in your commit log, and how to make
it easier to understand for other, especially for people either not familiar
with display internals, and/or Allwinner specifics.
