According to
Only because the dsi_vc_dcs_read failed. The examples in the datasheet only show dcs commands and responses. > MIPI DSI spec, a DCS read is answered with DCS short/long response, and > a generic read is answered with generic short/long response. > I don't have that spec, but if the command type dictates the response type, then I agree that having separate a generic_read command is better. > If your HW doesn't work like that, it's against the spec.
