The calculations in your and my patch are quite different. I'm not
taking into account the number of lanes or the MIPI format. I'm basing
the blanking size purely on the ratio between MIPI DSI byte clock and
the DPI interface clock. It's quite counter-intuitive that the host
would scale the blanking to the number of lanes automatically, but
still require the MIPI packet offset removed, but that's what my
measurements showed to produce the correct blanking after translation
to DPI by the TC358767 bridge chip.

If you dynamically scale the HS clock, then you would need to input the
real used HS clock to the calculation in my patch, instead of the fixed
burst mode rate.
