If any normal DCS write command has already been transmitted prior to
transmitting any Zero-Parameter DCS command, then it is necessary to
clear the TX FIFO by resetting it. Otherwise, the FIFO points to another
location, and the DCS command transmits unnecessary data causing the
panel to not work[0].
Allow the DCS Write FIFO in the cdns-dsi controller to reset as a rule,
before any DCS packet is transmitted to the DSI peripheral.
