No, as far as I understand the VSDELAY adds an offset between input an
output side of the video FIFO. It shouldn't increase the length of any
sync signal, but delays the read side of the FIFO, so the write (DSI)
side has some margin to put data into the FIFO before DP side starts to
assemble packets.

At the time when this patch was written it still was the SYNC_PULSE
mode.
