2. as I said before, it is the same panel for both RGB and DSI, and
ICN6211 bridge is converter for RGB-to-DSI. we don't have any specific
programming or detailed datasheet from this except BSP DSI panel
sequence along with BSP panel timings which are similar to RGB one.

3. wrong picture rendering is something sprightliness followed by
colors jerks, which I couldn't explain it properly ie reason I
mentioned some generic term for understanding.

It is RGB to DSI bridge on the same panel, as I explained above and it
would shared same timings. I can confirm or proved it from BSP panel
timings which are working. indeed same timings are been in Mainline
tree, we can trust them atleast.

I have no idea or document to refer why this 1 would be added. so I
used same comment from BSP like many places on sun4i does. w/o this +1
the delay is computed to 512 which is not working and with this the
desired delay is 513 which is perfectly working.

If you have any idea on this, please share so-that I can add it in
comment otherwise.
