I didn't choose a different path.
I created the drm_atomic_helper_disable_connector(). Maybe it is not enough.

I can move (copy/paste) sn65dsi83_reset_drm_output() to a new helper:
  int drm_atomic_helper_disable_output(struct drm_encoder *encoder)

Is it what you expect?

Also, are operations done in current sn65dsi83_reset_drm_output() correct
in order to reset the output? It works on my system but what is your
feedback on operations performed.

Best regards,
Hervé
