Subject: [PATCH 2/3] drm/bridge: samsung-dsim: enable MFLUSH_VS for Exynos
 7870 DSIM

Commit a36c533ad3e1 ("drm/bridge: samsung-dsim: Always flush display
FIFO on vsync pulse") intends to enable FIFO flushing at v-sync pulse by
not setting the active-low MFLUSH_VS bit.

However, in Exynos 7870 DSIM, the MFLUSH_VS bit is active-high. There is
no publicly available documentation to the best of my knowledge, but
downstream kernel code [1] supports this claim. Enable the bit for
Exynos 7870.
