In case the LCDIFv3 is used to drive a 4k panel via i.MX8MP HDMI bridge,
the LCDIFv3 becomes susceptible to FIFO underflows, which lead to nasty
flicker of the image on the panel, or image being shifted by half frame
horizontally every second frame. The flicker can be easily triggered by
running 3D application on top of weston compositor, like neverball or
chromium. Surprisingly glmark2-es2-wayland or glmark2-es2-drm does not
trigger this effect so easily.
Configure the FIFO Panic threshold register and enable the FIFO Panic
mode, which internally boosts the NoC interconnect priority for LCDIFv3
transactions in case of possible underflow. This mitigates the flicker
effect on 4k panels as well.
