"For some reason" being that DW-DSI apparently finds it ok to bypass any kind of abstraction and randomly calling panel functions by itself: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.4.7/source/drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/synopsys/dw-mipi-dsi.c#L868 It looks like it's fixed it current drm-misc-next though. > Obviously though the correct course of action is to fix the reason why > the panel is disabled more than once, but that's at least the root > cause of this behavior on the few panels I've worked with. Like I said we already have a commit on the way to fix that, so it shouldn't be an issue anymore. I stand by what I was saying earlier though, I think it's mostly cargo-cult or drivers being very wrong. If anything, the DW-DSI stuff made me even more convinced that we shouldn't even entertain that idea :) Maxime
