The documentation is not clear about how this delay works.
Empirical tests have shown that with a VSDELAY of 0, the first
scanline is not properly formatted in the output stream when
DSI->DP mode is used. The calculation spreadsheets from Toshiba
seem to always make this value equal to the HFP + 10 for DSI->DP
use-case. For DSI->DPI this value should be > 2 and for DPI->DP
it seems to always be 0x64.

Aren't you running into a problem due to VS timing misconfiguration on 
the scanout engine or DSI serializer side ? The VSDELAY seems to 
increase the length of VSYNC active . Which DSI bus mode do you use, 
sync events/pulses/burst ?

No, as far as I understand the VSDELAY adds an offset between input an
output side of the video FIFO. It shouldn't increase the length of any
sync signal, but delays the read side of the FIFO, so the write (DSI)
side has some margin to put data into the FIFO before DP side starts to
assemble packets.

At the time when this patch was written it still was the SYNC_PULSE
mode.

Lucas

Does this apply to DSI-to-DPI mode too ?

Can you please double-check this with current burst mode ?

I guess it does the same thing, but the technical documents I have
don't really say anything about it. I don't think the VSDELAY really
matters in the DPI output case, as DPI is much slower in pulling data
out of the FIFO compared to the DP packetizing, so the DSI side should
always be able to keep up with the DPI side.

It works fine on a hardware in DSI to DPI mode. I could check that
things are still as expected in DSI to DP mode later, but I don't
expect any issues.
