Philipp Zabel a36c533ad3 drm/bridge: samsung-dsim: Always flush display FIFO on vsync pulse
Always flush the display FIFO on vsync pulse, even if not explicitly
requested by the panel via MIPI_DSI_MODE_VSYNC_FLUSH mode_flag.

The display FIFO should be empty at vsync. Flushing it at vsync pulses
helps to remove garbage that may have entered the FIFO during startup
(if synchronisation between upstream display controller and Samsung DSIM
is lacking) and that may persist in form of last frame's leftovers on
subsequent frames. Flushing the display FIFO if it is already empty
should have no effect.

This will allow to remove the MIPI_DSI_MODE_VSYNC_FLUSH flag, which is
only used by the Samsung DSIM bridge driver. Arguably this flag doesn't
belong in the panel configuration at all: flushing the display FIFO on
vsync is a workaround for issues with the integration between display
controller and DSI bridge, not a property of the DSI link between bridge
and panel. No panel actually has a requirement to receive garbage or old
frame content after vsync.

I wonder if host controller FIFO resets are mentioned by the MIPI DSI
specification at all. This patch is based on the assumption that the
MIPI_DSI_MODE_VSYNC_FLUSH flag only exists because the DSIM_MFLUSH_VS
bit happens to be located in the same register as the bits controlling
the DSI mode.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
