Sorry, I'm not clear about back porch here.

The current code has mode->hsync_end - mode->hdisplay which is Front
porch + sync time do you think it's not? DRQ set time is pure front
porch value (according BSP) as I didn't see any information about DRQ
set bits in manual or anywhere.

fyi: atleast if you didn't trust me, here is existing applied patch
for about equations.
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm/drm-misc/commit/drivers/gpu/drm/sun4i/sun6i_mipi_dsi.c?id=2cfdc24d2f8d9b14704567c065beb2a118a578fa

So, this patch fixed to remove sync time by updating hsync_start -
hdisplay which is pure front porch. and it's clear that pane is not
working without this.

fyi about the sequence.

Same panel timings It is a DSI ICN6211 bridge, I have attached the
patch above https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10680331/ for
information about the display please find previous mail attachment.
