[PATCH v2] drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi83: add test pattern generation support
From: Luca Ceresoli
Date: Mon Mar 09 2026 - 18:07:38 EST
Generation of a test pattern output is a useful tool for panel bringup and
debugging, and very simple to support with this chip.
The value of REG_VID_CHA_ACTIVE_LINE_LENGTH_LOW needs to be divided by two
for the test pattern to work in dual LVDS mode. While not clearly stated in
the datasheet, this is needed according to the DSI Tuner [0] output. And
some dual-LVDS panels refuse to show any picture without this division by
two.

Changes in v2:
- added local variable to avoid potential race condition leading to
inconsistent settings
