If you can provide details about what clock framework / driver does wrong (sample clk_set_xyz call sequence, expected results via clk_get_xyz, and what fails), I can take a look at it. Just reporting arbitrary display driver issues I won't be able to debug at all (I don't have access to any of the displays, nor do I want to waste time debugging them without absolutely no knowledge whatsoever.)

I used your hack patches to allow changing rates via debugfs. And set dss1_alwon_fck_3430es2 to 27000000 or 27870967. The end result was that DSS gets some very high clock from dss1_alwon_fck_3430es2, as the frame rate jumps to many hundreds fps.

So, these numbers are not real, but to give the idea what I saw. Running first with 50 MHz, I can see, say, 40 fps. Then I set the clock to 30 MHz, and fps dropped to, say, 30fps, as expected with lower clock. Then I set the clock to 27MHz (or the other one), expecting a bit lower fps, but instead I saw hundreds of fps.

I don't know if there's any other way to observe the wrong clock rate but have the dss enabled and running kmstest or similar. I can help you set that up next week, should be trivial. You don't need a display for that.

Here's how to reproduce. I have the attached patches. Three of them are the clk-debug ones, and one of mine to make it easy to test without a display, and without underflow flood halting the device. There are on top of v5.3. Kernel config also attached.

kmstest is from kms++ project (https://github.com/tomba/kmsxx). It should be straightforward to compile, but kmstest binary is also included in TI's rootfs.

Ok, I ignored all your test code and just fiddled with my trusty clk debugfs patches. I don't like debugging with test code I have no experience with. :)

Anyways, it seems the dpll4_m4_ck max divider value is wrong, it only accepts values upto 16 at least on my board. The setting for this in DT is 32, and it is most likely SoC specific what happens if you write an invalid value to the divider.

The best action here is probably to drop the max-div value for this clock to 16. Can someone check this with their display setup and see what happens? Attached patch should do the trick.
