Since a HS transmission is composed of an arbitrary number
of bytes that may not be an integer multiple of lanes, some
lanes may run out of data before others.
(Defined in 6.1.3 of mipi_DSI_specification_v.01-02-00)

However, for some DSI RX devices (for example, anx7625),
there is a limitation that packet number should be the same
on all DSI lanes. In other words, they need to end a HS at
the same time.

Because this limitation is for some specific DSI RX devices,
it is more reasonable to put the enable control in these
DSI RX drivers. If DSI TX driver knows the information,
they can adjust the setting for this situation.

Therefore, add a flag to control this situation beacuse the
mipi DSI specification is not forbidden this situation.

Is it documented in anx7625 manual? Is it confirmed with hw team?

If not, how it was detected? Have you tried to find workaround for it by 
inspecting registers, maybe it is just matter of clock gating deferral, 
timings or sth similar ???.

I am not sure what you mean here.

I have an impression (according t 6.1.3 of spec) that devices should 
allow transmission of arbitrary number of bytes, so this is bug in hw/fw.

The question if it can be fixed. If not patches are welcome.

Maybe it would be better to add another mode_flag.

We have application note, and it is confirmed by designer, hw team.

This is anx7625 bridge chip design limitation.

mode_flag should be OK.
