I moved to 4.3-rc4, and found that HDMI and LVDS DI freq's are
different (with your patch to move LVDS's parent clock to OTG.

HDMI: imx-ipuv3 2400000.ipu: Clocks: IPU 264000000Hz DI 65000000Hz
Needed 65000000Hz
LVDS: imx-ipuv3 2400000.ipu: Clocks: IPU 264000000Hz DI 68571429Hz
Needed 65000000Hz

However, if I have both HDMI and LVDS hooked into the system at the
same time, the HDMI's EDID block 0 is always invalid.

This causes the HDMI monitor to get a signal, and within a second,
think that a signal no longer exists. Also, it seems that LVDS (even
connected by itself), appears to work. The backlight comes on, but
nothing gets drawn to the display. I then tried the following:

$ cat /proc/cmdline
console=ttymxc1,115200 root=ubi0:rootfs ubi.mtd=2 rootfstype=ubifs
debug video=HDMI-A-1:d video=LVDS-1:e

That is, forcing HDMI off and LVDS on. I verified that the kernel saw
this (e.g. [drm] forcing HDMI-A-1 connector OFF) and found an
interesting result. The LVDS backlight still turns on, but the HDMI
had the image painted onto it while being colorspace converted for the
LVDS monitor (white showed up as a light blue, green was blue, red was
green etc). It looks like when only LVDS is connected, signals still
get sent to the HDMI monitor, which would explain why it appears that
LVDS doesn't work.

Comparing the imx6qdl-gw54xx.dtsi and imx6qdl-sabersd.dtsi, I couldn't
see too many differences between HDMI and LVDS, so I'm a little
surprised you don't see this exact same behavior there. Note that I've
tried this with the patch for changing the LVDS's parent clock in the
imx6qdl-gw54xx.dtsi file.
