Enable NO_EOT and SYNC flags for DSI to use VIDEO_SYNC_PULSE_MODE

Any chance you could add some details to this commit message? Your
subject says that these flags are "necessary", but people have been
using this driver successfully for many years now. Why did these flags
suddenly become necessary and why were things working before?
I'm not saying that we shouldn't use these flags, just trying to
understand. I actually don't know a ton about these details in MIPI,
so it would help me :-).
Definitely.
I will add more details for the commit message.
For more context here, I was working with cadence dsi driver for TI
SoCs. So to be more accurate, this is required for CDNS_DSI
I observed other bridges like lt-9211, where I have seen such flags
being set for dsi-controller by vendors.
