What do you mean by command data? It could be:
- all transfer in command mode of operations,
- transfer initialized by the driver by writing to DSIM registers.

What is the meaning of this flag in case of command mode of operation?

Maybe it would be better to create flags based on source of data/FIFOs:
- commands send by SFR registers,
- commands generated from data sent from Display Controller.

Is this requirement for initial commands, or for all commands.
Btw what is the mode of operation of nt35502a? What flags do you need
for it?

Shouldn't this be also the same for dcs read?

Anyway I think check in the DSIM should be used instead, as panel driver
can issue other dsi transfers without MIPI_DSI_MSG_USE_LPM flag set.
