I spent some time today on smoke testing these flags (individually and
in limited combination) on DB845c, to narrow down this breakage to one
or more flag(s) triggering it. Here are my observations in limited
testing done so far.

There is no regression with MIPI_DSI_MODE_NO_EOT_PACKET when enabled
alone and system boots to UI as usual.

MIPI_DSI_MODE_VIDEO_NO_HFP always trigger the broken display as in the
screenshot[1] shared earlier as well.

Adding either of MIPI_DSI_MODE_VIDEO_NO_HSA and
MIPI_DSI_MODE_VIDEO_NO_HBP always result in no display, unless paired
with MIPI_DSI_MODE_VIDEO_NO_HFP and in that case we get the broken
display as reported.

In short other than MIPI_DSI_MODE_NO_EOT_PACKET flag, all other flags
added in this commit break the display on DB845c one way or another.
