DS90UB936-Q1: Problem getting stable link lock

Part Number: DS90UB936-Q1

Hello,

in our design we have setup with DS90UB936 and DS90UB935. Connection is over coaxial cable, with PoC.

Both devices are set to CSI-2 Synchronous mode - DS90UB935  MODE=0, DS90UB936 MODE=4.

We are having problem with getting link lock stable, while checking status in register 4 of DS90UB936, we observe changing values between 0xd3 and 0xdf

Can you please advice some steps to proceed to find out root cause of this issue ?

Just for reference, here is registry dump from DS90UB936:

PoC network is implemented the same way as in reference schematics, with exactly same components.

Voltages on MODE pins are checked - DS90UB935 is 0V, on DS90UB936 it is 1V.

REFCLK on DS90UB936 is 25MHz from quartz oscillator, also check, there is correct frequency.
