Did you find any confirmation of this in the MX8M* datasheet or at least 
by measuring the DSI data lanes with a scope ?

It would be real cool if this could be confirmed somehow, and we could 
rule out that this tweaking of HSA/HSE/... stuff isn't related to either 
LP-HS transition timing calculation this driver is missing, OR, 
incorrect flags in various bridge/panel drivers like commit:

ca161b259cc84 ("drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi83: Do not generate HFP/HBP/HSA 
and EOT packet")
