Research direction
Start with the reported /boot/firmware/config.txt, uname -a output, and vcgencmd version output, then compare display behavior between firmware 1.20250305, 1.20250326, and the working 6.6.xx version. Done means isolating the upgrade-related display regression or documenting a confirmed configuration or firmware resolution for the RPI DIS10180P/Elecrow RC101S display.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Firmware upgrade caused the touchscreen display to stop working. No image, just scrambled lines.
Tried to manually downgrade the firmware, went back too far to version 6.6.xx, display worked but there were other unrelated issues.
It has been confirmed that the display works, Raspi 5 works, ports (USB,HDMI) works.

There was a bug fix for a another type of display, that why the firmware was updated to 6.12.22. It didn't help my case.
