Okay, one last point about this.

Your response actually brought up another comment on this patch.

You have not documented what this macro does in this enum either in this 
patch or the next.

78  * MDP TOP BLOCK features
79  * @DPU_MDP_PANIC_PER_PIPE Panic configuration needs to be be done 
per pipe
80  * @DPU_MDP_10BIT_SUPPORT, Chipset supports 10 bit pixel formats
81  * @DPU_MDP_BWC,           MDSS HW supports Bandwidth compression.
82  * @DPU_MDP_UBWC_1_0,      This chipsets supports Universal Bandwidth
83  *                         compression initial revision
84  * @DPU_MDP_UBWC_1_5,      Universal Bandwidth compression version 1.5
85  * @DPU_MDP_MAX            Maximum value
86
87  */
88 enum {
89 	DPU_MDP_PANIC_PER_PIPE = 0x1,
90 	DPU_MDP_10BIT_SUPPORT,
91 	DPU_MDP_BWC,
92 	DPU_MDP_UBWC_1_0,
93 	DPU_MDP_UBWC_1_5,
94 	DPU_MDP_AUDIO_SELECT,
95 	DPU_MDP_MAX
96 };

If that was done, that would certainly clear the doubts about what this 
does.

Snapshot is just one usage of this enum. We are advertizing this enum as 
a chipset level capability. So if we group it the way you mentioned as 
incorrect, lets view it another way.

- #define DPU_MDP_TOP_UGLY AND document what it means as we are supposed to

     add DPU_MDP_TOP_UGLY to sdm999's features

Now, we know what it means and also which chipset it applies to in the 
same change rather than looking at two changes to achieve this.

Lastly, we are using this capability to avoid access to the snapshot.

That may not be the only usage of that capability.

I am not going to hold off this patch for this reason but like I have 
said before, even if the order is maintained the way I mentioned by 
splitting the compatible similar to the SM8350 series, it will not cause 
reboot.

Yes, I do recall the first DSI underrun issue on the SM8450 board so i 
certainly realize we cannot let it boot without blocking access to the hole.
