[PATCH v4 08/17] drm/bridge: cdns-dsi: Remove broken fifo emptying check
From: Tomi Valkeinen
Date: Wed Jun 18 2025 - 06:04:16 EST
The driver checks if "DPI(HFP) > DSI(HSS+HSA+HSE+HBP)", and rejects the
mode if not.
However, testing shows that this doesn't hold at all. I can set the hfp
to very small values, with no errors. The feedback from the HW team also
was that the check is not right, although it's not clear if there's a
way to validate the FIFO emptying.
The check rejects quite a lot of modes, apparently for no good reason,
so drop the check.
