I tried to test Jagan's v4 on our Kontron BL i.MX8MM with SN65DSI84 LVDS
bridge and it didn't work due to driver dependency issues.

Instead trying Marek's branch rebased to 6.0-rc4 and including the
necessary DT changes from Jagan's v4 looks good and produces an image on
the display.

Only one thing caused problems: In Jagan's patch for the LCDIF node [1]
there's a typo (missing 's') in the assigned-clock-rates property.
Without fixing this the display doesn't work.

Jagan, can you come up with a v5 including Marek's fixes?
And if you like, I think you could also start sending the DT changes for
i.MX8MM, so we can start reviewing/testing them?

Thanks
Frieder
