The thing is, we also output in rgb888 dual edge format on mt8183 and mt8192,
and therefore set DDR_EN in mtk_dpi_dual_edge(), right? But, as you said, we
don't need to enable this new rgb888_dual_enable variable on those platforms,
only on mt8186. So that's why I don't think the current name/description is
suitable. If the variable only needs to be set on mt8186, it should have a name
and description that shows what is different between mt8186 and the others. But
without containing the "mt8186" name, since this might happen on other SoCs
later on.

My understanding is that even though both mt8186 and mt8192 output in the rgb888
dual edge format, only mt8186 is able to configure the edge setting in MMSYS (so
on mt8192 it would be hardwired to dual edge and not possible to change). So
what I propose is

Name: edge_cfg_in_mmsys

Description: "If the edge configuration for DPI's output needs to be set in MMSYS"

But maybe since you know the hardware, you might be able to find an even better
name/description.

Thanks,
