As far as I understand, it has been tested on the recent generations of 
the hardware. I doubt that anybody retests new techpack drops on 
previous hardware generations. Correct?

When was the last time this particular code drop was tested on 
INTF_HDMI? I think it was back in the 4.4 era. Newer vendor kernels do 
not have hdmi-staging, so at least the claim of testing this codepiece 
on HDMI is not correct.

What is the earliest chip that has been driven by this particular code 
instance?

We have been discussing exactly the same piece of code a year ago. Could 
you please recheck the comments that were provided to your patches. And 
I actually mean that. There were 12 iterations of wide bus patchset. 
Timing engine programming patch had 8. I do not want to start again from 
the very beginning.

The basic idea is that you have to evolve the code rather than flushing 
us with the 'latest and greatest code dump'. Split this into individual 
atomic changes that we can review. Provide justification (= motivation) 
for each change. Previously we haven't seen them.

We know that current function works. We must be able to assume that new 
instance doesn't break things. Or, if something breaks, understand which 
particular change broke it. Consider the case that your patch breaks 
msm8998. Or sdm845. How can we cope? Would you be able to spot the place 
which did that? I know I wouldn't. The only way would be to revert the 
patch completely. And inherently the whole series.
