Hi Laurent

Thanks for the response.

So as per the spec it says this:

"The number of Lanes used shall be a static parameter. It shall be fixed 
at the time of system design or initial configuration and may not change 
dynamically. Typically, the peripheral’s bandwidth requirement and its 
corresponding Lane configuration establishes the number of Lanes used in 
a system."

But I do agree with you that this does not prohibit us from changing the 
lanes during mode_set time because display might have been off.

Although, I really did not see any other bridges doing it this way.

At the same time, detach() and attach() cycle seems the incorrect way to 
do it here.

We did think of another approach of having a new mipi_dsi_op to 
reconfigure the host without the component_del()/component_add() because 
most of the host drivers also do component_del()/component_add() in 
detach()/attach().

But that would not work here either because this bridge is after the DSI 
controller's bridge in the chain.

Hence DSI controller's modeset would happen earlier than this one.

So even if we do have another op to reconfigure the host , this bridge's 
modeset would be too late to call that new op.

It complicates things a bit, so we thought that not supporting dynamic 
lane switching would be the better way forward unless there is another 
suggestion on how to support this.

I didnt follow this. Did you mean mode_set() is not the right point to 
set the number of lanes?

So without this change, adv7533 changes the number of lanes during 
mode_set time followed by a detach/attach cycle.
