Since there is no response from Matt, we can perform revert, since there
are no other ideas. I will apply it tomorrow, if there are no objections.

And for the future: I guess it is not possible to make adv work with old
and new approach, but simple workaround for adv could be added later:

if (source is msm or kirin)

    do_the_old_way

else

    do_correctly.


And remove it after fixing both dsi masters.
