I think you could not just revert "drm/mediatek: Remove struct
cmdq_client", you should also revert the patches after it, such as

"drm/mediatek: Clear pending flag when cmdq packet is done"
"drm/mediatek: Add cmdq_handle in mtk_crtc"
"drm/mediatek: Detect CMDQ execution timeout"

If "drm/mediatek: Remove struct cmdq_client" is the patch cause
display abnormal, I think you could compare code w/ and w/o this
patch. Focus on the value accuracy, such as cmdq_cl and cmdq_chan. And
focus on the flow accuracy, such as mtk_drm_crtc_update_config() and
ddp_cmdq_cb(). If this could not find the problem, I think the latest
way is to break this patch into small patches, changes little in each
small patches and we could finally find out the problem.

Chun-Kuang.
