Vertical video start delay is computed by excluding vertical front
porch value from total vertical timings.

This clearly confirmed from BSP code and here how it computed,

(drivers/video/sunxi/disp2/disp/de/lowlevel_sun50iw1/de_dsi.c)
u32 vfp = panel->lcd_vt - panel->lcd_y - panel->lcd_vbp;
=> (panel->lcd_vt) - panel->lcd_y - (panel->lcd_vbp)
=> (timmings->ver_front_porch + panel->lcd_vbp + panel->lcd_y)
   - panel->lcd_y - (panel->lcd_vbp)
=> timmings->ver_front_porch + panel->lcd_vbp + panel->lcd_y
                           - panel->lcd_y - panel->lcd_vbp
=> timmings->ver_front_porch

But the current driver is assuming it can exclude vertical front
porch along with vertical sync values from total vertical timings,
which resulting wrong start delay indeed wrong picture rendering
in the panel.

Same story here: which panel, which datasheet, which "wrong picture
rendering"?

It's bananapi,s070wv20-ct16 DSI

quoted

Example: timings, where it produces the issue.
{
      .vdisplay       = 600,
      .vsync_start    = 600 + 12,
      .vsync_end      = 600 + 12 + 2,
      .vtotal         = 600 + 12 + 2 + 21,
}

Can you 100% trust those timings?

ie. reason, I have given the Mainline timings [1]. The above timings
are wrongly mentioned actual timings are from [1]

It produces the desired start delay value as 19 but the correct working
value should be 513.

So, Fix it by computing proper video start delay.

That doesn't make any sense to me... What does it mean?

Which is meaning as above stated as "BSP comment" from here[2]
