The LCD timing definitions between Linux DRM vs Allwinner are different,
below diagram shows this clear differences.

<----- lcd_[xy] -------->		  <- lcd_[hv]spw ->

<-------------------------------- lcd_[hv]t ------------------------------>

The DSI driver misinterpreted the vbp term from the BSP code to refer
only to the backporch, when in fact it was backporch + sync. Thus the
driver incorrectly used the vertical front porch plus sync in its
calculation of the DRQ set bit value, when it should not have included
the sync timing.

Including additional sync timings leads to flip_done timed out as:

With the terms(as described in above diagram) fixed, the panel
displays correctly without any timeouts.
