This is a veeery vague changelog, akin to "change patch", please
be more specific the next time around.

This should definitely be put in a common file..

Is it a DPU issue, or does the panel not work correctly when you
jack up the clocks? Did you use the correct init sequence and porches
for the 120Hz mode, including the mode switch command set?

Could you also implement a 60 (or whatever other value is also
implemented downstream) Hz mode?

That's a bit vague, the driver IC is not very telling about the
panel itself. Since we're not able to determine much more information,
this could contain the panel manufacturer and the device name.

Shouldn't you put the reference only if it's found?

dev_err_probe, here and in neighbouring exit return paths?
