[PATCH v2 06/11] video: lcdif: use 128B AXI bursts to avoid right-edge gap

From: Thomas Haemmerle <thomas.haemmerle at leica-geosystems.com>

P_SIZE/T_SIZE are undocumented AXI-burst-size selectors: 1 = 128 byte,
2 = 256 byte.  The driver inherited 256B from NXP downstream, which
works for 1080p (stride 7680 B = 30 * 256 B) but breaks on narrower
32 bpp panels whose row byte count isn't a multiple of 256.

On an 800-pixel row at XRGB8888, stride = 3200 B = 12.5 * 256 B.  The
trailing partial burst is dropped and the panel shows a ~32-pixel-wide
black strip at the right edge.  128B is a divisor of every common
32 bpp stride (3200, 3840, 5120, ...), so the gap disappears.
