I was thinking about the pixel clock from the DSI to the ADV.  I did
see the manual-divider bit was missing.  I tried enabling that bit,
but it didn't appear to make much difference.

But I don't think the clock should be fixed. I think it should vary as
the resolution changes.  From what I can tell, NXP's DSI code doesn't
hard code this value, but it does appear to cap it at 1.5G.  I did
soom looking into the NXP frequency calculation and it is capable of
adjusting resolutions to some extent and from what I can see the
891MHz clock is only set when 1080p.  At 720p, thier kernel shows the
output frequency at  445.5 MHz.  The way the DSIM is currently
configured, it's fixed at 891MHz, so I don't expect the output feeding
the adv7535 to be correct for the different resolutions.

Do the other converter chips work fine at different resolutions?

I compared the P/M/S values between this driver and NXP's and they
calculate different values of PMS when running at 1080P.
NXP @ 1080p:
fout = 891000, fin = 12000, m = 297, p = 2, s = 1, best_delta = 0

This kernel @ 1080p:

PLL freq 891000000, (p 3, m 99, s 0)

at 720P, the NXP Kernel
fout = 445500, fin = 12000, m = 297, p = 2, s = 2, best_delta = 0
(working)

at 720P, this kernel:
PLL freq 891000000, (p 3, m 99, s 0)
hs_clk = 891000000, byte_clk = 111375000, esc_clk = 18562500
(not working)

I do have access to the programming guide, but it's under NDA, but
I'll try to answer questions if I can.
