I got other issues with GP0 when trying to use it for DSI on VIM3 & VIM3L.

I had to do change the following to have it lock correctly and achieve rates usable for MIPI-DSI requested bandwidth:

        if (meson_clk_pll_enable(hw)) {
                pr_warn("%s: pll did not lock, trying to restore old rate %lu\n",

This one is tricky, for DSI the clock rate is set with assigned-clock-rates in DT, but
then the GP0 is seen as stopped and then the rate is never set.

When afterwards we enable the PLL, the rate set in the registers is invalid and never locks,
this permits setting the rate in the registers even if the PLL is stopped.

I had to change the min/max to achieve a stable and functional rate of 720MHz after the ODs.
