Hi Alexandre,

Thanks for the patch.

According to MIPI DSI specification "All DSI transmitters and receivers
shall support continuous clock behavior on the Clock Lane, and
optionally may support non-continuous clock behavior". It suggests that
continuous clock should be default behavior. So maybe better is to
introduce sth like:
+#define MIPI_DSI_MODE_CLOCK_NON_CONTINUOUS	BIT(10)
