Yep, I know. There are a lot of drivers not respecting this.

mclk:      54 MHz (input)
pixelclk:  54 MHz (output)
res:       1280x1024
fps:       15
bus-width: 8
bpp:       16

After re-reading the PIXEL_RATE, maybe I missunderstood the control. As
of now I thought it is the amount of bytes per second send on the bus.
But the documentation says pixels per second... Is there a control to
expose the current pixelclk on the mbus? What I wanna do in the end is
to calculate the througput on the (parallel-)bus.

I did that right now, after your confusion :)
