I raise the same question.

Keith Zhao earlier submitted effectively the same set of patches [1]
and the response for the updated timing was:
<quote>
My platform dphy tx hardware has certain limitations.
Only supports integer multiples of 10M bitrate:
such as 160M ,170M, 180M,190M,...1G(max)

as common dphy bitrate = pixclock*bpp/lanes.
This value cannot match successfully in most cases.

so in order to match bitrate , I choose a bitrate value around
pixclock*bpp/lanes,
Prevent overflow and underflow by fine-tuning the timing parameters:-(
that will make the new timming value.
</quote>

I then suggested mode_fixup should be used in the DSI host driver, and
Keith acknowledged that.

Is this new timing still because of the DSI host requirement?
