I don't think platforms usually care about this level of detail. The
Tegra driver for example doesn't really look at the packet type and just
packets the data in the standard DSI format and then sends it off on the
bus. It does inspect some fields of the packet, but none that are
related to the packet type, I think.
So it's possible that the panel will accept the packet irrespective of
type and handle it correctly. I can imagine that the decoding logic in
these panels might be rather primitive, so perhaps it's not very strict
as to what exactly the type is as long as it can do something with the
data.
In any case, it does make sense to send DCS commands using the DCS type,
so I'd say let's merge this and see if somebody complains:
