This is a bit complicated, because it is related to i.MX8MP MIPI DSI/
LVDS/HDMI, i.MX93 MIPI DSI/LVDS/parallel display pipelines.  Even
i.MX6SX LVDS display pipeline is a bit related, since i.MX8MP/i.MX93/
i.MX6SX LDBs share the same fsl-ldb.c driver.

Can you please suggest a place where this could happen?
