Presumably this means that your panel is defined improperly?  If the
panel reports that it's a 6 bits per pixel panel but it's actually an
8 bits per pixel panel then you'll run into this problem.

I would have to assume you have a bunch of out of tree patches to
support your hardware since I don't see any device trees in linuxnext
(other than cheza) that use this bridge chip.  Otherwise I could try
to check and confirm that was the problem.
