The reason the CONFIG_HEIGHT was at such a high value is to make sure 
that
we always get the TE only from the panel vsync and not false positives 
coming
from the tear check logic itself.

When you say that disp-te gpio is not hooked up, is it something 
incorrect with
the schematic OR panel is not generating the TE correctly?
