Oh, nice, thanks for the pointer. When setting

in imx8mm.dtsi
I get a non-flickering display using 4 lanes. Although admittedly this is just 
random guessing. I'm not sure which clock exactly has to be in the range 
CHA_DSI_CLK_RANGE is configured to. With 4 lanes SN65DSI84 is configured for 
205-210 MHz (0x29), while I get these PLL PMS settings on DSIM:
> samsung-dsim 32e10000.dsi: PLL freq 668250000, (p 4, m 99, s 0)
> samsung-dsim 32e10000.dsi: hs_clk = 668250000, byte_clk = 83531250, esc_clk 
= 16706250

AFAICS DSIM bridge is configurung hs_clk, byte_clk and esc_clk just from DT 
properties, while SN65DSI84 is using display mode and number of lanes.

Is it expected that the DSIM PLL frequencies are set in DT for a specific 
bridge/display setup?

Best regards,
Alexander
