Good question. I'll let Kuogee or somebody else from Qualcomm to comment
on test code vs widebus vs pixel rate, as I don't know these details.
I'm not sure if we should halve the pixel clock in
dp_ctrl_on_stream_phy_test_report() or not if the widebus is supported.
From the current code I'd assume that we have to do this. Let's raise
this question in the corresponding patch discussion.

Yes, do it please.

Yes, this sounds good. Then we can drop the drm_dbg_dp from it (as it
nearly duplicates the data that was just printed.
