No, it doesn't help but only makes clk_round_rate() called in
LDB driver's .mode_valid() against 148.352MHz return 148.352MHz
which allows the unexpected 1920x1080-59.94Hz display mode.

Yes, it allows that for single-link LVDS use cases.
And, __no__, for dual-link LVDS use cases because the
video_pll1_out clock rate needs to be 2x the LVDS serial clock
rate.

I think we'll live with the assigned clock rate in DT, because the
i.MX8MP LDB and Samsung MIPI DSI display pipelines need to share a
video PLL, like I mentioned in comments for patch 2.
