You already made the mtk_mmsys_ddp_dpi_fmt_config() more generic by making it's
format parameter decoupled from its register representation on MT8186, that is,
MTK_DPI_RGB888_SDR_CON instead of DPI_RGB888_SDR_CON.

I wasn't asking for any code modification on that comment, I was suggesting you
add this sentence in the commit message, so it reflects the changes you're
already doing.

To be extra clear, I was suggesting you update the commit message to the
following:

  The difference between MT8186 and other ICs is that when modifying the output
  format, we need to modify the mmsys_base+0x400 register to take effect. So when
  setting the dpi output format, we need to call mtk_mmsys_ddp_dpi_fmt_config to
  set it to MT8186 synchronously.
  
  Commit a071e52f75d1 ("soc: mediatek: Add mmsys func to adapt to dpi output for
  MT8186") lacked some of the possible output formats and also had a wrong
  bitmask.
  
  Add the missing output formats and fix the bitmask.
  
  While at it, also update mtk_mmsys_ddp_dpi_fmt_config() to use generic formats,
  so that it is slightly easier to extend for other platforms.
  
  Fixes: a071e52f75d1 ("soc: mediatek: Add mmsys func to adapt to dpi output for MT8186")

What I'm saying is that, even though you've made the function receive a generic
format as a parameter, like MTK_DPI_RGB888_SDR_CON, at this point in time
MT8186 is the only SoC that has a register in mmsys for it, so the values

DPI_FORMAT_MASK
DPI_RGB888_SDR_CON
DPI_RGB888_DDR_CON
DPI_RGB565_SDR_CON
DPI_RGB565_DDR_CON

are really all MT8186-specific, at least at this point. Leaving them without the
MT8186_ can give the false impression that they're already used elsewhere. Also
it's really easy to mistake them for the generic ones (like
MTK_DPI_RGB888_SDR_CON). MT8186_MMSYS_DPI_OUTPUT_FORMAT already has the MT8186_
prefix, so I'm really just saying that the other ones should have as well.

If/when the same address, mask or values for this register start being used on a
different SoC, then you can remove the prefix and move it to the mtk-mmsys.h
generic header.

But for now adding the prefixes will avoid confusion and make it clear this is
MT8186 specific.

Thanks,
Nícolas
