To repeat my first mail:
I'm facing similar issues with the tc358775 bridge. This bridge needs to release its reset while both clock and data lanes are in LP-11 mode. But then it needs to be configured (via I2C) while the clock lane is in enabled (HS mode), but the data lanes are still in LP-11 mode.
Therefore, for the correct init sequence is: (1) dsi host enables lanes, that is clock and data are in lp-11 (2) dsi bridge driver releases reset of the bridge (3) dsi host enables clock lane, leaves data lanes in lp-11 (4) dsi bridge driver configures the bridge (5) dsi host enables the video stream (6) dsi bridge enables the output port of the bridge
