Hello Krzysztof,

Thanks for your review.

The difference of disp_aal for each MediaTek SoCs is "has_gamma".
And we only control this variable for different MediaTek SoCs.

The value of has_gamma for MT8173 is true.
The value of has_gamma for MT8183 is false. (Moreover, the driver data
is null for MT8183)

>From this situation, I think it's not compatible between MT8173 and
MT8183.
