No, I still think it goes to the TVE as:

1. it's named TVE in datasheet.

Feel free to come up with a better, more sensible explanation?

2. Generating signal with such a low resolution but such
a high dotclock is not a good situation.

What? What do you mean? The pixel clock is 27MHz, I'm pretty sure we
agree on that.

Yes, so I don't think the TCON code should set the clock to any value
rather than 27MHz.

So we should create a clock with divider in TVE, and feed it to TCON.
