These devices are in tree:
arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mm-data-modul-edm-sbc.dts
arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mp-data-modul-edm-sbc.dts

The LT9211 and LT9611 are both expansion modules handled by DTOs and 
bound to the DSIM (which is also in tree).

I would much prefer a solution which does not break my existing use 
case. It is still not even clear whether the problem really is on MX8M 
side at all, or whether it is QCOM misinterpreting flags. I cannot debug 
the later, since I have no access to that platform, nor its documentation.
