hmm, still analyzing:
What works:
  OMAP5 + Pyra (Videomode display requiring some init commands) 
  some command mode stuff with OMAP4 (droid4)
 
What does not work:
  OMAP4 with some dsi videomode to something else (LVDS/DPI) converter
       if init commands are sent through dsi, then these commands fail
       with bta sync problems.

So sending init commands to video mode displays seems not to be a
principal problem.
But looking deeper at the drivers, there seem to be commands sent
to the converters to configure lanes on that side, e.g.
tc358762_write(ctx, DSI_LANEENABLE,
                       LANEENABLE_L0EN | LANEENABLE_CLEN);

There might be trouble if these are not sent in low power mode.

So probably the next analyzing step would be to check if things
are really sent in low power mode.
