[v11,1/3] drm/dsi: transfer DSI HS packets ending at the same time

[Rex-BC Chen]

Hello common DRM maintainers,

We have proposed a DSI mode_flag definition in
include/drm/drm_mipi_dsi.h.
The maintainer of bridge chip, Andrzej, also reviewed this patch.

Is there any chance that you can give us some suggestions?
We also need your approvement if this series is acceptable.

Also, if the patch is not proper for you, please let us know.

Thanks for your help.

BRs,
Rex
