I think this is because the thee PLL from cru can't divide accurate clock for these
non-integer refresh rates.

Yes, use PLL from HDMI PHY can give more flexible clock rates to support more display mode.
We also use it in our bsp kernel, but one thing should  keep in mind that  use HDMI PHY pll
as dclk source can only work for HDMI 2.0 or bellow, if can't be used in hdmi 2.1 mode(such as 4K120),
so we need to switch the clock source by hdmi work mode.

The difficult thing is how to make this accepted by upstream.
