Okay got it, I think it will become more clear once he posts.

Its not just this loop and this small piece of code. Lets look at 
dsi_manager.c.

static int dsi_mgr_setup_components(int id)
{
     struct msm_dsi *msm_dsi = dsi_mgr_get_dsi(id);
     struct msm_dsi *other_dsi = dsi_mgr_get_other_dsi(id);
     struct msm_dsi *clk_master_dsi = dsi_mgr_get_dsi(DSI_CLOCK_MASTER);
     struct msm_dsi *clk_slave_dsi = dsi_mgr_get_dsi(DSI_CLOCK_SLAVE);
     int ret;

     if (!IS_DUAL_DSI()) {
         ret = msm_dsi_host_register(msm_dsi->host, true);
         if (ret)
             return ret;

         msm_dsi_phy_set_usecase(msm_dsi->phy, MSM_DSI_PHY_STANDALONE);
         ret = msm_dsi_host_set_src_pll(msm_dsi->host, msm_dsi->phy);
     } else if (!other_dsi) {

Here you are actually hitting this condition even though you are 
operating in dual dsi mode.
But because of the current terminology, it seems like this use-case is 
not dual DSI but it actually is.
So the confusion is more in the DSI driver than in this loop where you 
are calling dpu_encoder_setup()
For this loop a comment should be good enough.

Ok, if SPLIT is overloaded how about using IS_DUAL_DSI() and adding one 
more condition like IS_DUAL_DSI_SYNC()
to emphasize that both the DSIs are not independent and are operating in 
sync.
Like the above condition i mentioned in dsi_manager there are many more 
places where identifying two independent DSIs
and two DSIs operating together for a single panel will be useful in my 
opinion.
So rather than leaving comments everywhere in the dsi code, I was 
suggesting a different terminology.
In this series, the only change which will happen will be that this API 
will change a bit but I dont think its a big change.

As discussed with Rob on IRC, we both dont fully recall why this 
set_encoder_mode callback was added for mdp5.
DPU just carried this forward from mdp5.
So to be safe, maybe we can just validate this once on mdp5 to make sure 
it doesnt break.
Otherwise this part of removing the set_encoder_mode seems fine with me.
