Possibly, yes. The exynos video phys are already there. I have kept the
mediatek dsi/hdmi phys together with the DRM driver, but I suppose I
could move them there, too.

We'd need to extend the PHY API for this. For the mediatek phys we have
side-stepped the issue by wiring up the PLL output to the common clock
framework.
I expect besides the pixel clock frequency, it might also be necessary
to inform the PHY about cycles per pixel for deep color modes.
