p1022ds_set_monitor_port() is called by the DIU driver when it enables the DIU. This happens on boot, for example, if you enable the framebuffer console.

It doesn't. This isn't a simple problem to solve. On the P1022, NOR flash and the DIU are incompatible, and yet that's exactly what we ship on the P1022DS board. We could just remove the NOR flash node from the DTS.
