Yeah, so we need to change the clock rate.

We've been over this a couple of times already.

The clock is generated like this:

PLL -> TCON Module Clock -> TCON DCLK

You want the TCON DCLK to be at the pixel clock rate * bpp /
lanes. Fine, that makes sense.

Except that the patch you've sent, instead of changing the rate
itself, changes the ratio between the module clock and DCLK.

And this is where the issue lies. First, from a logical viewpoint, it
doesn't make sense. If you want to change the clock rate, then just do
it. Don't hack around the multipliers trying to fall back to something
that works for you.

Then, the ratio itself needs to be set to 4. This is the part that
we've discussed way too many times already, but in the Allwinner BSP,
that ratio is hardcoded to 4, and we've had panels that need it at
that value.

So, what you want to do is to have:

TCON DCLK = pixel clock * bpp / lanes
TCON Module Clock = DCLK * 4
PLL = Module Clock * Module Clock Divider (which I believe is 1 in most cases)

So you want to increase the PLL. Fortunately for use, this is exactly
what a call to clk_set_rate will end up doing.
