[PATCH] drm/rockchip: Update crtc fixup to account for fractional clk change

After commit 928f9e268611 ("clk: fractional-divider: Hide
clk_fractional_divider_ops from wide audience") was merged it appears
that the DSI panel on my Odroid Go Advance stopped working. Upon closer
examination of the problem, it looks like it was the fixup in the
rockchip_drm_vop.c file was causing the issue. The changes made to the
clk driver appear to change some assumptions made in the fixup.

After debugging the working 5.14 kernel and the no-longer working
5.15 kernel, it looks like this was broken all along but still
worked, whereas after the fractional clock change it stopped
working despite the issue (it went from sort-of broken to very broken).

In the 5.14 kernel the dclk_vopb_frac was being requested to be set to
17000999 on my board. The clock driver was taking the value of the
parent clock and attempting to divide the requested value from it
(17000000/17000999 = 0), then subtracting 1 from it (making it -1),
and running it through fls_long to get 64. It would then subtract
the value of fd->mwidth from it to get 48, and then bit shift
17000999 to the left by 48, coming up with a very large number of
7649082492112076800. This resulted in a numerator of 65535 and a
denominator of 1 from the clk driver. The driver seemingly would
try again and get a correct 1:1 value later, and then move on.

Output from my 5.14 kernel (with some printfs for good measure):
[    2.830066] rockchip-drm display-subsystem: bound ff460000.vop (ops vop_component_ops)
[    2.839431] rockchip-drm display-subsystem: bound ff450000.dsi (ops dw_mipi_dsi_rockchip_ops)

Contrast this with 5.15 after the clk change where the rate of 17000999
was getting passed and resulted in numerators/denomiators of 17001/
17000.

Output from my 5.15 kernel (with some printfs added for good measure):
[    2.817571] rockchip-drm display-subsystem: bound ff460000.vop (ops vop_component_ops)

[    2.891073] Rate 17001000, Parent Rate 17000000, Best Numerator 17001, Best Denominator 17000

[    2.891281] Rate 17001000, Parent Rate 17000000, Best Numerator 17001, Best Denominator 17000

After tracing through the code it appeared that this function here was
adding a 999 to the requested frequency because of how the clk driver
was rounding/accepting those frequencies. I believe after the changes
made in the commit listed above the assumptions listed in this driver
are no longer true. When I remove the + 999 from the driver the DSI
panel begins to work again.

Output from my 5.15 kernel with 999 removed (printfs added):
[    2.852054] rockchip-drm display-subsystem: bound ff460000.vop (ops vop_component_ops)

[    2.880869] Clock is dclk_vopb_frac

[    2.928521] Clock is dclk_vopb_frac
[    2.928551] Rate 17000000, Parent Rate 17000000, Best Numerator 1, Best Denominator 1
[    2.928570] Clock is dclk_vopb_frac
[    2.928574] Rate 17000000, Parent Rate 17000000, Best Numerator 1, Best Denominator 1

I have tested the change extensively on my Odroid Go Advance (Rockchip
RK3326) and it appears to work well. However, this change will affect
all Rockchip SoCs that use this driver so I believe further testing
is warranted. Please note that without this change I can confirm
at least all PX30s with DSI panels will stop working with the 5.15
kernel.
