This somehow breaks things on sc7180 (display gets stuck at first
frame of splash screen). (This is a setup w/ an ti-sn65dsi86 dsi->eDP
bridge)

Also, something (I assume DSI related) that I was testing on
msm-next-staging seems to have effected the colors on the panel (ie.
they are more muted).. which seems to persist across reboots (ie. when
switching back to a good kernel), and interestingly if I reboot from a
good kernel I see part of the login prompt (or whatever was previously
on-screen) in the firmware ui screen !?! (so maybe somehow triggered
the display to think it is in PSR mode??)

Not sure if that is caused by these patches, but if I can figure out
how to get the panel back to normal I can bisect. I think for now
I'll drop this series. Possibly it could be a
two-wrongs-makes-a-right situation that had things working before, but
I think someone from qcom who knows the DSI IP should take a look.

BR,
