Apparently this is an issue for a lot of DSI bridges. But enabling LP-11 for
a bridge is impossible with current documentation [1], which states "A DSI
host should keep the PHY powered down until the pre_enable operation is
called."
Additionally tc358767/tc9595 (DSI-DP bridge) needs LP-11 for AUX channel
access to even get EDID. This is a requirement before pre_enable would
even be possible.

So some changes to the current flow are needed. But I am not so sure
about LP-11 notification. IMHO a device request to the DSI host to
enable LP-11 seems more sensible.

Best regards,
Alexander
