Alex, the first poweron is called by mtk_dsi_ddp_start() - and the start callback
is internal to the mediatek-drm driver.
That callback is called by mtk_crtc during setup and during bridge enable(), and
there we go with suboptimal code design backfiring - instead of using what the
DRM APIs provide, this driver uses something custom *and* the DRM APIs, giving
this issue.
Part of what mtk_crtc does is duplicated with what the DRM APIs want to do, so
there you go, that's your problem here :-)
Should I go on with describing the next step(s), or is that obvious for everyone?
:-)
Cheers,
Angelo
