Looking at Figure 4.20 (Power On Sequence) in the datasheet TC9595XBG (Rev 1.1 
2021-06-23) you can see that RESX can be released (only) after DSI lanes went 
to LP-11 state. I got information, down from the support, that LP-11 must be 
up in order to use AUX channel. This also matches our observations, DSI hosts 
often enable LP-11 only in atomic_prepare. That's too late so we used some 
hacks to enable LP-11 right from the beginning just to get access to AUX 
channel.
