Unfortunately indeed this patch makes problems on msm8974, at least on 
fairphone-fp2 hardware.

With this patch in place, the screen doesn't initialize correctly in maybe 80% 
of boots and is stuck in weird states, mostly just becomes completely blue.

Kernel log at least sometimes includes messages like this:
[   25.847541] dsi_cmds2buf_tx: cmd dma tx failed, type=0x39, data0=0x51, 
len=8, ret=-110

Do you have anything I can try on msm8974? For now, reverting this patch makes 
display work again on v6.1

Regards
Luca
