Hi Kate,

Thank you for the patch.

This does not match the mode->llp value (2328) used for 1928x1088, any idea
why?

Aside from the patch, I also see that the value for the PIXEL_RATE control
is derived using the link-frequency and output bit-depth.

It is likely that the sensor's frame rate depends solely on the LLP and FLL
timing registers, so it should be possible to derive a constant pixel rate
value (for a given PLL configuration) that is independent of link-freq and
bit-depth.

Thanks,
    Jai
