Well, it was my first idea but unfortunately, "_adjusted_" stuffs are 
not used by many drivers, and it means that other drivers using this 
generic dw dsi driver will have to handle the "_adjusted_" stuffs too in 
their own crtc or dsi specific parts...

So that is why I have chosen to use the "optional" pixel clock (as 
defined in the documentation): as it is optional, it is up to the 
"specific dt part" to use it or not, whatever the "crtc" driver (often 
handling the set rate, like in stm32 ltdc.c), avoiding then more patches 
in the specific parts and more importantly in the crtc parts...

What is your opinion then?

I will do more tests related to your above comments,

Many thanks for your comments and support,
