I agree, according the RM it should be GENMASK(3, 1).

There is a doc issue on the i.MX8MP latest RM, actually the fields for REG33 should be:
REG33 fields:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|    Field	   |       Description
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|     7         | 0 - Assert forced global reset
|MODE_SET_DONE | 1 - Release forced global reset             
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|     6        | 0 - There are not any change in 20bit data from TXD2 port     
|TX_INV2	       | 1 Invert polarity of 10bit data of 20bit data from TXD2 port
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|     5        | 0 - There are not any change in 20bit data from TXD1 port     
|TX_INV1       | 1 - Invert polarity of 10bit data of 20bit data from TXD1 port
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|     4        | 0 - There are not any change in 20bit data from TXD0 port      
|TX_INV0       | 1 - Invert polarity of 10bit data of 20bit data from TXD0 port 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|              | TESTOUT[9] - PLL_FINE_LOCK_DONE                             
|              | TESTOUT[10] - Divided by 10 clock (source clock : PIXEL_CLK)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|    2         |
|FIX_DB        | Disable de-skew function 1 - Select fixed phase 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|    1         |
|FIX_DA        | Disable de-skew function 1 - Select fixed phase 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|    0         | 0 : There are not any change in 20bit data from TESTIN port    
|ALTER         | 1: Invert polarity of 10bit data of 20bit data from TESTIN port
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The issue will be fixed in the next i.MX8MP RM release, sorry for the inconvenience.
