I mean just a short comment above the function that mentions that this
function is used to avoid the synclosts on omap3, because yadda yadda,
so that the reader will immediately realize that this is doing some
special handling.

This patch is using dispc_mgr_lclk_rate. Does it depend on the change?
If so, it needs to be fixed before this patch. But yes, separating it
sounds fine.
