Checking Display Datasheet:
https://www.olimex.com/Products/Retired/A13-LCD7-TS/resources/S700-AT070TN92.pdf

Page 13 section 3.3.2 you can see it needs active low VS and HS.

You can refer to this Thread and check scope captures about VS and HS 
versus TCON0_IOPOL register:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2018-January/163874.html

There should be something that wrongly sets one of these or both:
mode->flags |= DRM_MODE_FLAG_PHSYNC;
and/or
mode->flags |= DRM_MODE_FLAG_PVSYNC;

Checked in panel-simple.c but it's not there.

At the moment I don't have a board to check it with me, I'll try to do 
it soon, but I'm full with other work at the moment.

If you have the chance to debug you could try to find in which point 
mode->flags gets changed with those 2 flags.

When the problem came out I've noticed the same thing for u-boot too but 
it's been decided to not patch it because in that case every single 
sunxi defconfig had to be changed from:
CONFIG_VIDEO_LCD_MODE="...,sync:3,..."
to:
CONFIG_VIDEO_LCD_MODE="...,sync:0,..."
and it would have been a great mess, probably not worth it:
https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2018-February/321405.html

So keep in mind that TCON driver works differently for HS and 
VS(inverted) polarity in u-boot and linux.

Hope to work this out soon.
Best regards
