Correct, there is only one implementation available. AFAIK there are no plans to make changes to it.

The clock is external to the part and there is a check in the driver if we can set the frequency
to match the requested dotclock by the video_mode. It does not affect the hardware or how it presents
itself to the driver.

ditto.
Thanks for reviewing it,
