Yes, calling one function from another means they are dependent and 
thats true in this case because byte clk computation depends on the pclk.

The reason behind this separation was that in the next patch, we need to 
compute only the byte clock and use that to validate in the mode_valid 
against the opp table limits.

The opp table for DSI is based on the byte clk.

If we were to pass pclk as a parameter, then we would have to explicitly 
compute the pclk just to pass the parameter to the method which computes 
the byte clk. As opposed to this approach, where it just happens under 
the hood.

So for the purpose of the next patch I kept it this way.

Let me know what you think.
