I tried your attached patch on my dm3730 and that seems to make it
somewhat better in that it doesn't hang anymore, so that leads me to
believe that your comment about the divider being only valid on the
omap36 may not be true. I do think it solves the hanging issue that i
was seeing, but I now see a new one now which is dumping a backtrace.

It looks like it's unhappy that its trying to get one frequency and
getting something different instead.

[   10.014099] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 111 at
drivers/gpu/drm/omapdrm/dss/dss.c:655 dss_set_fck_rate+0x70/0x90
[omapdss]
[   10.014129] clk rate mismatch: 27870968 != 27000000

See attached log for the full dump.

Either way, I think you've identified the main issue.  I just think we
may have uncovered another one in the process.

For what it's worth, the video looks good.  :-)
