On a rk3588-tiger-haikou (including its DSI hat and my preliminary DSI driver) it also works. Even with both DSI and HDMI at the same time. Both hdmi plugged in on boot and also plugging it in during runtime of the board, generates a clean image on my 1080p display. So, series Tested-by: Heiko Stuebner <heiko@xxxxxxxxx>
