The hardware supports dithering on TCON channel 0 which is used for LCD panels.
Dithering is a method of approximating a color from a mixture of other colors when the required color isn't available. It reduces color banding artifacts that can be observed when displaying gradients (e.g. grayscale gradients). This may occur when the image that needs to be displayed is 24-bit but the LCD panel is a lower bit depth and does not perform dithering on its own.

Hi Maxime,
The dithering parameters used here are different from the ones you used in your MIPI DSI series. You might want to check if it still works for you.
