It's a classical DSI sequence init issue, look at dw-mipi-dsi:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/synopsys/dw-mipi-dsi.c

We setup the "command-mode" (low-speed) withing mode_set so when the next bridge dsi_pre_enable is called,
low-speed DCS can be sent, then the bridge enable() sets video mode (high-speed).
The disable still needs to call the next_bridge post_disable :
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.16-rc2/source/drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/synopsys/dw-mipi-dsi.c#L893

You can send any low-speed DCS once HS mode is started if the HW supports it and the driver handles it, look
at the https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.16-rc2/source/drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/synopsys/dw-mipi-dsi.c#L397
The MIPI_DSI_MODE_LPM and MIPI_DSI_MSG_USE_LPM is used for that.
