I wouldn't go as far as claiming this is a bug. The difference (at least in the
snippets in <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=101439#c1">comment #1</a>) is .2%-.3%, which well within the .5% limit that VESA
has specified in some standard.
There is a real bug in the driver in that it doesn't actually check if the
clock we got is close enough or not. But if we had such a check (and it used
the .5% as its guideline) then it wouldn't have tripped in this case. The state
readout does do a check like that but I think it allows the error to be quite
big.</pre>
