0xe5 register can signal any DSI errors (depending on when the ESD affects
the DSI bus) even PLL unlock bit was observed set but we didn't see any
relationship between the bits set in 0xe5 register and the recoverable or
unrecoverable behavior.

Also, in some cases, reading the register was not even possible (i2c
transaction nacked).
