Detailing more what the issue is would be great.

The computation here is in the A64 driver:

if ((panel->lcd_ht - panel->lcd_x - panel->lcd_hbp) < 21) {
	dsi_dev[sel]->dsi_tcon_drq.bits.drq_mode = 0;
} else {
	dsi_dev[sel]->dsi_tcon_drq.bits.drq_set	=
		(panel->lcd_ht-panel->lcd_x-panel->lcd_hbp-20) *
		dsi_pixel_bits[panel->lcd_dsi_format]/(8*4);
}

It is testing that the sync + front porch is smaller than 21, and
otherwise sets the drq.

My code here is testing that the difference between hsync_end and
hdisplay is superior to 20, and sets the DRQ if true. The condition is
reversed, but otherwise, that difference is the front porch plus the
sync length.

However, you are testing for just the front porch, unlike what your
commit log is saying, and unlike what allwinner's code is saying. So
this deserves some explanation.
