No, just on the Chuwi Vi8, the tests was to make sure the higher clock
does not create problems elsewhere and I was curious what clock the GOP
was using on other devices. Also hence the "requires 333333 to work properly"
vs "works fine with 333333" in the list.

So you're suggesting to change the comment into something like this
instead ?  :

/*
  * On Valleyview some DSI panels loose (v|h)sync when the clock is lower
  * then 320000KHz.
  */
