Again, happy to use more words.

Yes, I went back to the Android 4.9 driver (that was working) and found
that the porch shift was not there. After experimenting with removing
the porch shift code, I had fully working video. As the SDM845 is the
only chip that doesn't use wide_bus, the pair are not related, but each
one contributes to no/poor video output.

Happy to condense it. I left it in two sections for clear review at
this point. As stated above, I reused the wide_bus parameter as the
SDM845 appears to be the only affected chip.
