Apparently LP-11 is actually entered with the call to
samsung_dsim_enable_lane(), but I don't know about other requisites on that
matter. Unfortunately documentation lacks a lot in that regard.

At which point does SN65DSI84 require LP-11?
You have access to a DSI/D-PHY analyzer?

AFAIK ti-sn65dsi83.c only uses I2C for communication. Did you send DSI read/
writes instead?
