The source is the i.MX8M Nano reference manual, Table 13-40. DPHY PLL
Parameters. It documents that the P divider frequency (fin_pll) has a
frequency range of 2 MHz to 30 MHz. According to the same table, the input
frequency (fin) has a range of 6 MHz to 300 MHz.

Is the table incorrect?

I also tried to always set the reference clock to 24 MHz, but depending on the
display clock this isn't always possible.
