Oh OK.

Nope, DSI command mode support has been working just fine for
a while now :) And Sebastian has a WIP git tree of the common DRM
model changes for it. I don't think we have devices with DSI
command mode working for omapfb but not for omapdrm?

What got missed for v5.6-rc1 is the LCD backlight patch though,
I think the only issue there is default-brightness vs more common
default-brightness-value usage if you have any input to that.

OK so then the only blocker seems to be the lack of SGX blobs
for omap3 devices which seems to be in process of getting fixed.
