It does look like, *so far* the TI bridge chip is only used on qc
platforms (according to grep'ing dts), so I suppose I can't rule out
bugs which cancel each other out.  Although there are various other
bridges used (for ex, the sdm845 rb3 board has some dsi->hdmi bridge)

I guess it would be useful if we could measure the clk somehow to
confirm that it is running at the rate we think it is..
