If I recall it right, minimum PLL frequency is:

fPMS=1.2*width*height*bpp*fps=1.2*800*480*24*60=663.5 MHz

the link frequency is then

fHS=fPMS/lanes/2=82.9 MHz (on the DDR clock lane)

So DSI83 should be in the range of 80..85 MHz input clock if I calculate 
this right. Can you check what is the value of mode->clock, the 
mipi_dsi_panel_format_to_bpp() return value, ctx->dsi->lanes in dsi83 
sm65dsi83_get_dsi_range() ?

No, there should be negotiation between the host and bridge/panel, I 
tried to propose two variants, but they were all rejected.
