It is.

This is what I'm telling you. If you consider the back porch as only
the back porch, then the result of that BSP calculation you mentionned
earlier is the front porch and the sync length.

You imply that the back porch should actually be treated as the back
porch and the sync length in your calculation. What makes you say so?

I'm aware of that patch, but I have no idea why do you bring it up in
that discussion.

This is the same discussion over and over again: which panel, which
datasheet, not working how?

How is that relevant?

The previous attachment was for a display that doesn't even have the
same bus. How is that relevant?
