The mdp5 support is there.  Some of the dependencies have dragged out.
I'd have to make sense of my development tree as to what is relevant.

It uses the TI SN65 bridge.

I don't think panel is null in my case.  I need to trace a few things
through to be sure.

Taking a quick look at the datasheet for the bridge, I suspect that
operations are occurring in the enable() phase of the bridge, that
need to occur before video data is transmitted.  Based on your
analysis in the commit message, I suspect these operations need to be
moved to pre_enable().

I'm hoping to gather more data this weekend, which will hopefully
identify what we need to do to move this forward without causing
regressions.

DSI0 to "ti,sn65dsi86" (bridge) to "sharp,ld-d5116z01b" (panel).

Nack, please.  I was curious so I threw this on the Lenovo Miix 630
laptop.  I don't get a display back with this patch.  I'll try to
figure out why, but currently I can't get into the machine.

A dump of all the patches (whether still relevant or not) would be

ti-sn65dsi86.c contains:

static void ti_sn_bridge_enable(struct drm_bridge *bridge)
{
/* ... */
drm_panel_enable(pdata->panel);
}

static void ti_sn_bridge_pre_enable(struct drm_bridge *bridge)

Thanks for testing the patch! Let's try to figure that out...

I'm a bit confused, but this might be because I'm not very familiar with
the MSM8998 laptops. It does not seem to have display in mainline yet,
so do you have a link to all the patches you are using at the moment?

Judging from the patches I was able to find, the Lenovo Miix 630 is
using a DSI to eDP bridge.
Isn't the panel managed by the bridge driver in that case?

struct msm_dsi contains:
/*
 * panel/external_bridge connected to dsi bridge output, only one of the
 * two can be valid at a time
 */
struct drm_panel *panel;
struct drm_bridge *external_bridge;

So if you have "external_bridge" set in your case, "panel" should be NULL.
I have only moved code that uses msm_dsi->panel, so my patch really
shouldn't make any difference for you.

Am I confusing something here?

Thanks,
Stephan
