commit f73c82c855e186e9b67125e3eee743960320e43c upstream.
On most MSM8939 devices, the bootloader already initializes the display to
show the boot splash screen. In this situation, MDSS is already configured
and left running when starting Linux. To avoid side effects from the
bootloader configuration, the MDSS reset can be specified in the device
tree to start again with a clean hardware state.
The reset for MDSS is currently missing in msm8939.dtsi, which causes
errors when the MDSS driver tries to re-initialize the registers:
dsi_err_worker: status=6
dsi_err_worker: status=6
dsi_err_worker: status=6
...
It turns out that we have always indirectly worked around this by building
the MDSS driver as a module. Before v6.17, the power domain was temporarily
turned off until the module was loaded, long enough to clear the register
contents. In v6.17, power domains are not turned off during boot until
sync_state() happens, so this is no longer working. Even before v6.17 this
resulted in broken behavior, but notably only when the MDSS driver was
built-in instead of a module.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
