Hi Laurent,
I run some tests, and here below there's a summary of what I see

The following table compares results obtained with the latest
renesas-drivers, with and without this series applied on top.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Legend:
A = image badly aligned: not all 4 blue/red borders visible
F = flickering: disturbance in the shown image
B = broken: mode is not displayed
Results: I = improvement
R = regression

Overall I see two modes that were broken or unusable due to flickering
(1600x1200 and 1920x1200 respectively) to be now (almost) fixed.
There are visible alignement problems on some modes on both versions,
but I only see one 'regression' (the last 1360x768 that is now
slightly not aligned).
I guess monitors play a role here, with each one being different, but
overall I guess our test results match.
