I've reproduced the issue on my PinePhone and noticed that tcon0 had set
pll-video0-2x as its parent instead of pll-mipi. Having tried a whole
range of pll-video0 rates, I'm now convinced that DSI only works when
tcon0 has pll-mipi as its parent.

As little a change as setting .clock in the default mode of PP's panel
to 73500 can fix it. Better yet, dropping pll-video0-2x from the set
of acceptable parents for tcon0 fixes it universally. And that's what
megi's kernel does, though the measure was introduced with a different
rationale:
