This was the case for BSP to compute pll-mipi not for TCON_DSI clock
register, SUN4I_TCON0_DCLK_REG, which marked the divider 4 by default.

divider 4 isn't worked, this I would mentioned before as well.

Tested this on 4 different panels, and below are the desired divider values
and pll-mipi clock rate with respect to pixel clock frequency.

- 55MHz pixel clock with 4-lane panel, and the desired DSI clock divider
  is 6 with the output parent clock rate of 330MHz.
- 30MHz pixel clock with 4-lane panel, and the desired DSI clock divider
  is 6 with parent clock rate of 180MHz.
- 27.5Mhz pixel clock with 2-lane pane, and the desired DSI clock divider
  is 12 with the output parent clock rate of 330MHz.
- 147MHz pixel clock with 4-lane panel, and the desired DSI clock divider
  is 6 with the output parent clock rate of 882MHz.

BSP trying to use this format/lane to compute dsi divider that in-turn
using pll-mipi set_rate but TCON0_DCLK_REG keep constant 4.
