The commit you're reverting never made it in a stable release, because it was deemed to not be a good enough option. First of all, any attempt to fix this should include an update to the DT binding. Second, as this is about DPI panels, the LVDS option should be dropped. Finally, I've shared some initial thoughts in [1], maybe you can reply to that e-mail to continue the discussion there ? https://lore.kernel.org/all/20200303185531.GJ11333@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ > + > /* Extract bus_flags from display_timing */ > bus_flags = 0; > vm.flags = timing->flags; -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
