[PATCH 13/15] drm/dsi: Always use low-power mode for DCS commands

From: Thierry Reding <treding at nvidia.com>

Many peripherals require DCS commands to be sent in low power mode and
will fail to correctly process them in high speed mode. Section 5.2 of
the MIPI DSI specification also mandates that on bidirectional lanes,
data shall be transmitted in low power mode only. At worst this change
will make transmission of DCS commands slower than optimal on some DSI
peripherals, but it should enable DCS commands to be successfully
transmitted to any DSI peripheral.

If transmission in low power mode turns out to be too slow at some point
in the future, one possible solution would be to explicitly mark devices
that support high speed transmission of DCS commands.
