[PATCH v3] drm: shmobile: Fix white screen after resume when LCDC is stopped

From: bui duc phuc <phucduc.bui@xxxxxxxxx>

The LCDC on R8A7740 may show a completely white screen after resuming
from suspend (s2idle or s2ram).

After resume, both Set A and Set B registers are reset to 0. As the
Frame End interrupt is not generated while the controller is stopped
(DO=0), the hardware register switching mechanism is not triggered.
Consequently, Set A remains at 0x00000000 even though a valid Start
Address is written to Set B, resulting in a white screen.

This is a timing-dependent race condition. In some configurations,
debug options slow down the resume path enough for a Frame End
interrupt to occur, which can mask the issue.

Fix this by priming both register sets with the Start Address while the
controller is stopped, ensuring a valid base address is available
immediately after resume.

Changes:
- v3
Update commit message, add Tested-by and Reviewed-by tags
- v2
Fix incorrect use of lcdc_write_mirror() for LDSA2R in
the DO=0 path; use lcdc_write() to update both register
sets as intended.
