[PATCH 0/5] Pinephone video out fixes (flipping between two frames)

[Frank Oltmanns]

On some pinephones the video output sometimes freezes (flips between two
frames) [1]. It seems to be that the reason for this behaviour is that
PLL-MIPI and PLL-VIDEO0 are operating outside there specified limits.

The changes I propose in this patch series consists of two major parts:
  1. sunxi-ng: Adhere to the following constraints given in the
     Allwinner A64 Manual:
      a. PLL-MIPI:
          * M/N >= 3
          * (PLL_VIDEO0)/M >= 24MHz
      b. PLL-VIDEO0:
          * 8 <= N/M <= 25

  2. Choose a higher clock rate for the ST7703 based XDB599 panel, so
     that the panel functions with the Allwinner A64 SOC. PLL-MIPI
     must run between 500 MHz and 1.4 GHz. As PLL-MIPI runs at 6 times
     the panel's clock rate, we need its clock to be at least 83.333
     MHz.

So far, I've tested the patches only on my pinephone. Before the patches
it would freeze at least every other day. With the patches it has not
shown this behavior in over a week.

I very much appreciate your feedback!
