There's a mismatch on the real action of the following flags:
- MIPI_DSI_MODE_VIDEO_NO_HSA
- MIPI_DSI_MODE_VIDEO_NO_HFP
- MIPI_DSI_MODE_VIDEO_NO_HBP
which leads to a non-working display on qcom platforms.

This breaks LT9611 operation on i.MX8M Mini/Nano/Plus, so, NAK.

I am currently using this LT9611 with Linux 6.1.y in production and this is not acceptable. I also believe the correct fix is on the MSM side, not on the LT9611 driver side, since MSM incorrectly implements these flags.

Up to now we saw no proof that MSM incorrectly implements the flags.
