OK, it sounds like me telling you that 2+2=4 and you answering that you
understand my point but in your case 2+2=5 fits better.

This is nothing about 'my point', this is simple fact that if you have
928*525 pixels (including hidden ones) with refresh rate 60Hz pixelclock
is 29232kHz.

Please explain what exactly means "panel clock" and the divider here.

What rate reports modetest -v ...? For this and other panels.

Maybe we can figure out what should be fixed/adjusted.
