This also affects i.MX8MM, so better just mention i.MX in general in the
commit message.

I really wonder what the difference between DSIM_NON_CONTINUOUS_CLKLANE
and DSIM_CLKLANE_STOP is.

If Exynos only has the latter, it's pretty clear what to use. But as
i.MX has both of these bits, should both be set? Or is setting
DSIM_NON_CONTINUOUS_CLKLANE enough and we should leave DSIM_CLKLANE_STOP
alone?

Maybe someone has a clue here. The description of the bits in the RM is:

DSIM_NON_CONTINUOUS_CLKLANE - Non-continuous clock mode
DSIM_CLKLANE_STOP -  PHY clock lane On/Off for ESD
