Why would the panel need DDR_CLK_ALWAYS_ON if it has an another fclk?
I'm not that familiar with video mode, but somehow it would sound
logical that if the panel wants DDR clock to be always on, it should be
started right from the beginning. And if the panel doesn't need DDR
clock to be always on, there's no need to even set DDR_CLK_ALWAYS_ON.

Ok. But your patches handle the calculations, don't they?

Sending a null packet to start the DDR clk is rather OMAP specific
internal thing, so I don't want to require the panel driver to need to
know that it must send a null packet to start the clock. So if the ddr
clk is not started automatically, I think we should have a function to
do that (dsi_start_ddr_clk or whatever), which will then send the null
packet (and perhaps return an error if DDR_CLK_ALWAYS_ON is not set,
dunno...).
