This is not part of the timing setup, and a similar BURST_MODE flag is
enabled for video-mode in dsi_ctrl_config() - should it be moved there?

(There is a dsi_sw_reset() in between the calls to dsi_timing_setup()
 and dsi_ctrl_cfg())

Note that that function sets up the CMD_CFG0 and CMD_CFG1 register, with
the former having a very similar layout to MDP_CTRL2... is there
documentation outlining the difference?
