I have now retested this on RK3576 - both as-is and with the
"drm/bridge: lt9211: drop delayed work" patch I just sent.

I still think we have to figure out why the DSI signal doesn't appear
to be streaming as it should when lt9211_atomic_enable is called in
your setup.

When enabling the lt9211c synchronously, is there any error?
Is just the Sot/RX: debug output incorrect?
Which display controller / DSI bridge drivers are used to send the DSI
signal?
