I don't know if this predates the support for defining DSI clocks
but for what we have in the kernel right now this is wrong.

struct mipi_dsi_device contains:

 * @hs_rate: maximum lane frequency for high speed mode in hertz, this should
 * be set to the real limits of the hardware, zero is only accepted for
 * legacy drivers
 * @lp_rate: maximum lane frequency for low power mode in hertz, this should
 * be set to the real limits of the hardware, zero is only accepted for
 * legacy drivers

The MDP driver should use these frequencies for a DSI command
mode panel, and the panel driver should define them.

These two clocks are/can be/should be completely orthogonal to
the dotclock/pixelclock inside the panel, which is likely driven from
its own crystal directly from the panel-internal framebuffer.
