I didn't try 2-lane, but see below regarding clocks to see if any of
that makes any sense.

You're right. This came from some early debugging I was doing for a
patch I was going to propose when someone beat me to it. I'll submit
a V3 with this removed.

I am glad you asked this question. In an ideal world we would not
need to set this, because the display clock would propagate up to the
video_pll, but that's currently not happening yet, so one needs to
find a video-pll clock rate that nicely divides into the maximum
number of resoltions as possible.
When you run modetest on a display, you'll get a list of resolutions
with their refresh rate and horizontal and vertical timings as well as
the pixel clock. The mxsfb needs its clock to match the pixel clock
in order for the displays to sync properly. With 594000000 set for
the video-pll, the disp-clock divdes down to achieve what it can to
hit the required pixel clock.
Here is an example with some of the extra timing info removed. The
final column is the 594MHz / pix-clk
name refresh pix clk Divide by 594000000

As you can see, there are a number of resolutions which divide evenly,
but there are a bunch that do not. If you wanted to achieve
resolutions that do not divide evenly by 594MHz, you'd need to change
the video-pll clock to something else in order for this clock to
evenly divide but then it would break other resolutions.. I have
tested this, and I can get some of these additional resolutions to
work with a different video-pll clock rate. NXP's downstream kernel
masks this by blocking out clock rates that didn't divide evenly.
The Mini has a different clock parent-child relationship, and the
clock appears to default to 594MHz already, but the Nano has a default
of 650MHz which is why I had to add the clock there. I didn't want to
put it into the imx8mn.dtsi file, because this may not be appropriate
for some people or people with a fixed display running at specific
resltion and/or pixel rate.
I proposed a solution which would fix both Mini and Nano by allowing
the requested display clock to propagate back up to the video-pll.
On the Mini and Nano, a patch I proposed can help achieve more accurate
lcdif clocks. For example, when trying to get a pixel clock of 31.500MHz
on an imx8m Nano, the clocks divided the 594MHz down, but
left the parent rate untouched which caused a calculation error.
Before:
video_pll 594000000
video_pll_bypass 594000000
video_pll_out 594000000
disp_pixel 31263158
disp_pixel_clk 31263158
Variance = -236842 Hz
After this patch:
video_pll 31500000
video_pll_bypass 31500000
video_pll_out 31500000
disp_pixel 31500000
disp_pixel_clk 31500000
Variance = 0 Hz
If you want to check out the patch I proposed, look at [1]. I'd love
to get some tracking and/or feedback for this. This would allow the
Mini and Nano to sync more resolutions and allow people to not have to
specify the video-pll rate.
imx8mp is little more complicated, because there are two different
pixel clocks generated from the same video-pll (the DSI and the
LDB/LVDS)

20MHz was the max clock rate supported by the DSI controller. It also
appears to be the clock speed set in the NXP downstream kernel, so I
used it. I wish I had a better explanation.
