Not sure whether you see my commit log on this version or not. Each
one has it's own way of providing the details and explanation and at
the end people in ML should understand it. I'm not proving a simple
formula here (like I did it in initial version) instead I'm giving all
the respective information along with the bug log, and the bsp links
where it comes from etc. This is easier way for everyone to
understand.

Just a bit to explain what I've mentioned in the log.

Paragraph 1:

"
According to "DRM kernel-internal display mode structure" in
include/drm/drm_modes.h the current driver is trying to include
sync timings along with front porch value while checking and
computing drq set bits in non-burst mode.

mode->hsync_end - mode->hdisplay => horizontal front porch + sync
"

This paragraph explains what the existing code is using according to
DRM, which indeed help new users to understand by providing
include/drm/drm_modes.h file.

Paragraph 2:

"
With adding additional sync timings, the dsi controller leads to
wrong drq set bits for "bananapi,s070wv20-ct16" panel which indeed
trigger panel flip_done timed out as:
"

This paragraph explains what is the relevant issue with existing change.

Paragraph 3:

BUG or WARNING log

Paragraph 4:

"
But according to Allwinner A33, A64 BSP code [1] [3] the TCON DRQ for
non-burst DSI mode can be computed based on "horizontal front porch"
value only (no sync timings included).
"

This paragraph explains what is BSP is using compared with mainline.

Paragraph 5:

"
Detailed evidence for drq set bits based on A33 BSP [1] [2]

=> panel->lcd_ht - panel->lcd_x - panel->lcd_hbp - 20
=> (tt->hor_front_porch + lcdp->panel_info.lcd_hbp +
lcdp->panel_info.lcd_x) - panel->lcd_x - panel->lcd_hbp - 20
=> tt->hor_front_porch - 20
"

This paragraph explains the detailed steps of equation evaluation by
providing BSP links.

Paragraph 6:

"
Which is mode->hsync_start - mode->hdisplay as per
"DRM kernel-internal display mode structure" in include/drm/drm_modes.h
"

This paragraph give fix details in according to Linux DRM.

So, all the explanation which I'm trying to provide here will help to
understand, what is the issue with existing code and BUG log, how it
handle in BSP, with justification of equations and links where it
refers. Please note that I'm providing bug log and before that I've
mentioned this timeout because of additional sync. why is the timeout
with additional sync time, which I'm unaware since we don't have
associated datasheets for this but we have working BSP's to prove
that.

Frankly, I still didn't understand what I missed here to explain the
issue. request for help if you see any issues on this format or
information.
