So there > is still some sync issue. What is the parent of the dsi_phy_ref clock in your test case? Make sure that the lcdif_pixel and dsi_phy_ref clocks are driven by the same PLL. I saw occasional black screens, if the lcdif_pixel and dsi_phy_ref clock had different parents, and fixed it by changing the assigned-parent of IMX8MN_CLK_DSI_PHY_REF to IMX8MN_VIDEO_PLL1_OUT in the device tree. If the clocks are not in sync, it seems that the ADV3575 has issues correctly reconstructing the pixel clock and HDMI monitors loose sync. This is something that must be configured in the board device tree, though.
