What is the difference between these two?
Why not just MIPI_DSI_MODE_LPM combined optionally with
MIPI_DSI_MODE_VIDEO ?
Anyway as I understand the only role of this flag is to always trigger
MIPI_DSI_MSG_USE_LPM flag in DSI message. Maybe better is to check both
flags in DSI host, using some helper function.

It would be good to see usage of this flag in the driver. Is it possible
to post it?

I have posted few months ago TC358764 driver[1] which also uses LPM for
initialization, have you look at it.
