So Doug Anderson pointed out that we can actually read the DSI clock
from the bridge, if we put it in "automatic" mode, from him:
1. Boot up.
2. i2cget -f -y 2 0x2d 0x12 # reads calculated rate that we programmed
3. i2cset -f -y 2 0x2d 0x12 0 # switch to automatic mode
4. i2cget -f -y 2 0x2d 0x12 # reads measured rate; repeat this a bunch
and it should go up/down by 1 since measurement isn't perfect.
What I see without this patch:
localhost ~ # i2cget -f -y 2 0x2d 0x12
0x58
localhost ~ # i2cset -f -y 2 0x2d 0x12 0
localhost ~ # i2cget -f -y 2 0x2d 0x12
0x58
localhost ~ # i2cget -f -y 2 0x2d 0x12
0x59
localhost ~ # i2cget -f -y 2 0x2d 0x12
0x58
localhost ~ # i2cget -f -y 2 0x2d 0x12
0x58
localhost ~ # i2cget -f -y 2 0x2d 0x12
0x58
localhost ~ #
And with this patch:
localhost ~ # i2cget -f -y 2 0x2d 0x12
0x58
localhost ~ # i2cset -f -y 2 0x2d 0x12 0
localhost ~ # i2cget -f -y 2 0x2d 0x12
0xb1
localhost ~ # i2cget -f -y 2 0x2d 0x12
0xb2
localhost ~ # i2cget -f -y 2 0x2d 0x12
0xb2
localhost ~ #
So this patch is doubling the rate
