[ESP32S3] [esp_lcd rgb] PSRAM Framebuffers are not flushed after allocation (IDFGH-12243)

Answers checklist.

[X] I have read the documentation ESP-IDF Programming Guide and the issue is not addressed there.

Power Supply used.

USB

What is the expected behavior?

After finalizing setup of the lcd component with esp_lcd_panel_init(), I expect the framebuffer to be completely zero'd. Meaning that the TFT shows a black blank screen.

What is the actual behavior?

The screen is corrupt at the bottom because the last bytes are stuck in the CPU cache, not yet committed to the framebuffer (in PSRAM). In this state, there further is a high chance that the entire handling gets corrupted. I've had cases where screen position (0, 0) in esp_lcd_panel_draw_bitmap() is somewhere in the middle of the screen. As well as lines shifted against each other. (Second picture)

Steps to reproduce.

Create empty project with main loop
Initialize psram
Setup LCD exactly as is done here from line 47 to to (including) line 121.
Put esp to sleep using vTaskDelay()

Debug Logs.

No response

More Information.

Unfortunately, I can't update ESP-IDF to anything newer than that because it doesn't build in that environment. However, I inspected the code and saw the problem is still there.
