The current calculation for the video start delay in the current DSI driver is that it is the total vertical size, minus the front porch and sync length, plus 1. This equals to the active vertical size plus the back porch plus 1. That 1 is coming in the Allwinner BSP from an variable that is set to 1. However, if we look at the Allwinner BSP more closely, and especially in the "legacy" code for the display (in drivers/video/sunxi/legacy/), we can see that this variable is actually computed from the porches and the sync minus 10, clamped between 8 and 100. This fixes the start delay symptom we've seen on some panels (vblank timeouts with vertical white stripes at the bottom of the panel).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
