That statement contradicts the spec.
The DSI spec section 8.11.1 Transmission Packet Sequences says that
during any BLLP (Blanking or Low Power) period the host can do any of:
- remain in LP-11
- transmit one or more non-video packets from host to peripheral in escape mode
- transmit one or more non-video packets from host to peripheral in
using HS mode
- receive one or more packets from peripheral to host using escape mode
- transmit data on a different virtual channel.

Indeed if the sink doesn't set MIPI_DSI_MODE_LPM /
MIPI_DSI_MSG_USE_LPM, then the expectation is that any data transfer
will be in HS mode.

That makes me confused as to the need for this patch.
