Thanks for feedback. I tested this and, indeed there are issues on 6SX
with this particular patch. It seems that there is a race-condition
caused by the vblank_on call in enable and IRQ routine. Since this is
not happening on any of i.MX8 SoC, I suspect the axi clock usage.
I think I will just remove this patch from the patch-set and handle
this case separately.

I did a quick test on imx6sx-sdb and it seems that [PATCH 07/15] 
"drm/mxsfb: Fix the vblank events" causes a hang on boot, even without a 
panel.

If I revert that particular patch it seems to be fine: the new pixel 
formats seem to work in modetest (checked with sii,43wvf1g panel).

This was on i.MX8MQ. I don't have hardware to test mxsfb on anything
else over here atm.

Thanks for testing! What SoC did you use? I think it would be good to
also give this a try on i.MX 7 or i.MX 6ULL before merging.

I've applied this whole series on top of my NWL work and it looks good
with a DSI panel. Applying the whole series also fixes an issue where
after unblank the output was sometimes shifted about half a screen width
to the right (which didn't happen with DCSS). So at least from the parts
I could test:

  Tested-by: Guido Günther  

for the whole thing.
