[PATCH 1/4] drm/msm/dp: Simplify the mvid/nvid calculation

In the search for causes to timing issues seen during implementation of
eDP support for SC8180x a fair amount of time was spent concluding why
the calculated mvid/nvid values where wrong.

The overall conclusion is that the ratio of MVID/NVID describes, and
should match, the ratio between the pixel and link clock.

Downstream this calculation reads the M and N values off the pixel clock
straight from DISP_CC and are then adjusted based on knowledge of how
the link and vco_div (parent of the pixel clock) are derrived from the
common VCO.

While upstreaming, and then extracting the PHY driver, the resulting
function performs the following steps:

1) Adjust the passed link rate based on the VCO divider used in the PHY
   driver, and multiply this by 10 based on the link rate divider.
2) Pick reasonable choices of M and N, by calculating the ratio between
   this new clock and the pixel clock.
3) Subtract M from N and flip the bits, to match the encoding of the N
   register in DISP_CC.
4) Flip the bits of N and add M, to get the value of N back.
5) Multiply M with 5, per the documentation.
6) Scale the values such that N is close to 0x8000 (or larger)
7) Multply M with 2 or 3 depending on the link rate of HBR2 or HBR3.

Presumably step 3) was added to provide step 4) with expected input, so
the two cancel each other out. The factor of 10 from step 1) goes into
the denominator and is partially cancelled by the 5 in the numerator in
step 5), resulting in step 7) simply cancelling out step 1).

Left is the code that finds the ratio between the two arguments, scaled
to keep the denominator close to or larger than 0x8000. And this is our
mvid/nvid pair.
