Correct.

Yes, I have. Prusa3D's SL1 printer, on which I previously worked on,
uses both outputs simultaneously. I had encountered the same reparenting
problem back then but since I hadn't been able to identify it,
I resorted to fiddling with the DSI pixelclock until it worked. 

DSI & HDMI co-existence is yet another reasoni though for forbidding
the pll-video-2x parent. megi's kernel includes Mr. Zheng's commit which
does the same.
