Looking at some of the devices that might attach in the future, It
appears that ti-sn65dsi86.c sets this flag.  It's a display port
bridge, so I would expect it to need a variable clock rate similar to
how the HDMI bridge that I need works.  I am concerned that I make the
burst clock dependent on MIPI_DSI_CLOCK_NON_CONTINUOUS, it might break
the Display Port bridge.

I think it's better to just check if the samsung,burst-clock-frequency
is present in the device tree and use it when present.  If it's not
present, then fall back to the pixel clock of the connected device.

I looked at a bunch of Exynos parts, and it looks like they all use
the samsung,burst-clock-frequency device tree setting.  Is that true,
or did I miss one?
