Is this the right clock frequency in the downstream MSM 3.4 kernel that
you're talking about?

https://github.com/AICP/kernel_lge_hammerhead/blob/n7.1/arch/arm/mach-msm/clock-8974.c#L3326

I don't see any obvious clock values in the downstream command mode
panel configuration: 

https://github.com/AICP/kernel_lge_hammerhead/blob/n7.1/arch/arm/boot/dts/msm8974-hammerhead/msm8974-hammerhead-panel.dtsi#L591

Anyways, I tried Ville's patch with the framebuffer, kmscube, and X11
and everything appears to be working fine. You can add my Tested-by if
you end up applying this.
