Hello Jagan,

thanks for the second version of this patchset.

I was able to get my LVDS display running using this driver and an LVDS 
bridge. Actually my setup is similar to yours. My chain is like this:
MIPI-DSI -> sn65dsi83 -> LVDS panel
I noticed some things though:
My setup only works if I use less than 4 lanes. See [1]. When using 4 lanes 
the image is flickering, but the content is "visible". Your DT has only 2 
lanes configured, do you have the possibility to use 4 lanes? I have no idea 
how to tackle this. It might be the DSIM side or the bridge side.
Apparently the downstream kernel from NXP supports 4 lanes, if I can trust the 
config. I have no way to verify this though.

Another thing is I get the following warning
> sn65dsi83 2-002d: Unsupported LVDS bus format 0x100a, please check output 
bridge driver. Falling back to SPWG24.

This seems to be caused by a wrong bridge chain. Using commit 81e80429 at [2] 
I get the following output:
> bridge chain: /soc at 0/bus at 30800000/i2c at 30a40000/dsi-lvds-bridge at 2d -> /
panel_lvds0 -> /soc at 0/bus at 32c00000/dsi at 32e10000 ->
Which seems weird. I would have expected something like
dsi at 32e10000 -> dsi-lvds-bridge at 2d -> panel_lvds0
Do you happen to see somthing similar? But this is completely unrelated to 
your patchset though.

Also unloading the samsung_dsim driver raises a regulator warning:
