I tested this on my pinephone on drm-next, using additional patches for
the pinephone's panel. [1] [2] [3]

I played back a 60 fps video (10 seconds) and recorded the panel's
output with a 240 fps camera. I noticed only 2 dropped frames, that I
account to the imperfect data rate of 107.8MHz instead of 108 MHz due to
pll-video0's rate being 294MHz instead of the 297 MHz for reasons I
described in the thread on your v2 of this patch [4]).
