staging: fbtft: fb_st7789v: reset display before initialization
In rare cases the display is flipped or mirrored. This was observed more often in a low temperature environment. A clean reset on init_display() should help to get registers in a sane state.

So if it has always been broken, list the commit where the code was added to the kernel, as this should be backported to the stable kernels, right?
