This application of the arqos_value based on a pixel clock value bothers me,
because it has two problems:

1. Some other user of the Mali DP driver can't apply a system QoS value that they can
now specify in the DT, unless the requested pixel clock is bigger than 145MHz. :(

2. (A guess) The flickering issue shows up on a combination of pixelclock and
resolution (i.e. it is a bandwidth problem), but you only address one of the
variables. Haven't tested on the LS1028A yet, but do you know if (theoretically) it
would have a flicker problem doing 640x480@200MHz without the QoS value?

How about this instead?

And then you need to define a MALIDP_LS1028A in a vendor patch on top of the kernel
source code.
