Indeed, but my reading of the documentation says that neither
pre_enable nor enable give you the state that you require.
You need a hook in the middle, an option to ask for clock lanes during
pre_enable or no video during enable, or an amendment to the docs over
the state during enable.
Having the data lanes in HS mode does appear to stop the DSI83
accepting the I2C setup commands.
