The OMAP DSI command mode panel driver used to send page & column
address before each frame update, and this code was moved into the DSI
host driver when converting it to the DRM bridge model.

However, it's not really required to send the page & column address
before each frame. It's also something that doesn't really belong to the
DSI host driver, so we should drop the code.

That said, frame updates break if we don't send _something_ between the
frames. A NOP command does the trick.

It is not clear if this behavior is as expected from a DSI command mode
frame transfer, or is it a feature/issue with OMAP DSI driver, or a
feature/issue in the command mode panel used. So this probably needs to
be revisited later.

Hi Tomi,

Thank you for the patch.

This is important information, could you capture it in a comment in the
code ?

I think this is related to the following (from DSI spec):

"To enable PHY synchronization the host processor should  periodically end HS transmission and drive
the Data Lanes to the LP state. This transition should take place at least once per frame"

And in OMAP TRM:

"Special care must be taken in the case of the last line of the frame. The LPS transition is
required when the link is in HS mode for the whole frame."

I'm not 100% sure about that, but I'll change the commit description and add a comment to reflect
the above text.
