Bummer, I was hopeful this would help. I guess we need to dig more and
need to try to figure out what more is broken here. Maybe some panels just
have broken CRCs?

I agree with Paulo that the kernel solution seems to be the best. We
already have similar tricks on some platforms for crcs where we e.g. need
to put the scrambler into a non-compliant mode or switch to a different
output routing/power well config for edp.

If this kind of magic ever becomes a problem then we can look into adding
more raw crc interfaces. But I honestly don't expect this to happen - we
want to make sure that the right picture gets composited, validating
individual parts of the hw pipeline (like whether ips or a different
routing or whatever works correctly) is a job for SV, not us.

Queued for -next, thanks for the patch.
