The OLDI TX(es) require a serial clock which is 7 times the pixel clock

For the am625-dss, the requested clock needs to be 7 times the value.
Update the clock frequency by requesting 7 times the value.

The AM625 TRM seems to be missing the "DSS integration" section, even
if it's referred to in three places in the TRM. Supposedly that has
details about the clocking.
Shouldn't the source clock be 3.5x when dual-link mode is used?
There should not be.
Whenever OLDI is enabled, the clock generated from the PLL is 7 times
the required pixel clock.
For the OLDI TXes, the clock passes through a /2 divider. This divider
only gets activated when the dual mode has been enabled in the OLDI
configuration. Thus the OLDI TXes get 3.5x the pixel clock in dual mode.
When the OLDI has been configured for a single mode,
the PLL clock passes through the /2 divider without any change.
While I don't know the details, this doesn't feel correct. We're
supposed to be setting the VP pixel clock here, and the serial clock
would be derived from that as it's done on AM65x. Is the DT clock tree
wrong for AM625?
Ideally, yes, its the pixel frequency that we are supposed to set here.
The same PLL clock (7 times the pixel frequency) passes through a /7
clock divider. This clock divider only gets active when OLDI is enabled.
Thus, the DSS VP clock input, only gets the actual pixel frequency that
it needs.
Since, the /7 divider is controlled by a signal from the DSS, the driver
needs to request 7 times more the pixel clock to accommodate for the
divider.
In AM65X, the system FW is able to model the 7 times requirement because
the divider is not controlled by the DSS signal. DSS signal controls a
multiplexer which receives both PLL Clock and PLL / 7 clock.
Could you ping the TI TRM team to add the DSS integration chapter? The
clock tree is quite important part of the TRM.
I really don't like this one much. The dispc->vp_clk[0] here is actually
not VP clock, but a parent clock of the VP clock, so, afaics, the driver
gets "wrong" clock from DT data and then fixes things by manually
multiplying the requested rate. If we have to go with a driver hack like
this, I think it needs to be clarified more with comments, in the DT
data also.
On AM625, the first videoport is always connected to OLDI(s), and never
goes through as DPI, right? I.e. you cannot bypass OLDI?
If so, the /7 is, in practice, always enabled, as OLDI is the only use
case. So why not add /7 node to the DT clock data, which would allow us
to get rid of this code?
