If that's important to the driver, it should be set explicitly then,
and not work by accident.

In the code you sent, you're forcing a divider on the internal TCON
clock, while that one is fixed in the BSP.

There's indeed the bpp / lanes divider, but it's used in the *parent*
clock of the one you're changing.

And the dsi0_clk clock you pointed out in the code snippet is yet
another clock, the MIPI DSI module clock.

The analysis you have is probably correct, you're just not
implementing it properly in your patch.
