There are three System power states of D-PHY, Low-Power mode, High-Speed
mode and Ultra-Low Power mode. High-Speed mode needs 80Mbps ~ 1Gbps per
Lane. Therefore, to use HS mode, HS clock should be enabled. On the
other hand, LP mode needs only 10MHz (max).

So do you really think LP mode will be worked well with HS clock
enabled? The purpose of LP mode is to reduce power consumption while
transmitting data. Can you reduce the power consumption in LP mode with
HS clock enabled?

Thanks,
