I thought this looked a bit strange too, but for what its worth, these
two evaluate correctly:

localhost ~ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/clk/clk_summary  | grep lvds
    lvdspll                               0            0   149999878
       0 0
       lvds_pxl                           0            0   148500000
       0 0
       lvds_cts                           0            0    51975000
       0 0

I agree it does look strange to have a 51.975 MHz and 148.5 MHz clocks
with a 150 MHz PLL as their parent...  However, I'm not sure how much
this matters?  I think the idea here was that these frequencies are
best effort "nominal" clock values provided by Mediatek "designers".
The important point is that for the hardware to generate these either
of these clocks, lvdspll must be enabled.
