SM8750, I am testing on a native 10-bit video mode panel.

My thoughts are we should restore 6 for the cmd panel, and we should
fix video mode too.
As I mentioned, I overlooked something, I thought the cmd panel didn't
use the value, which
made the value for the cmd panel wrong. So we can restore it for the
cmd panel (though I can't say why 6).

Best wishes,
