This code is still reached on sc8280xp, but I guess only Qualcomm can
tell us what these bits are for (and they should).

The write to qmp->pcs + QSERDES_DP_PHY_MODE does not seem to have any
effect on sc8280xp and that register still reads back as 0x2020202 after
the incorrect write.

qmp->dp_dp_phy + QSERDES_DP_PHY_MODE reads back as 0x4c4c4c4c before the
fixed write and either 0x4c4c4c4c or 0x5c5c5c5c after depending on the
orientation.

Can someone please replace the magic constants in this driver, and at
least explain what the impact of bit 0x10 not reflecting the orientation
is?

Either way, good catch, this was clearly unintentional:

I think this should go to stable as well even if the impact is currently
not fully understood:
