DSI panel can't work with > clock used by RGB panel-simple. If you mean pixel clock from timings in next patch it seems incorrect. Pixel clock should be always htotal * vtotal * vrefresh, in case of drm_display_mode result should be divided by 1000 (as .clock is in kHz). With timings provided there you have: 928*525*60 = 29232000 So pixel clock should be 29232, if other timings are correct. DSI clock is a different thing and it is private thing of DSI bridge/panel it should not be exposed via drm_display_mode. Regards Andrzej > >> Then you can: >> >> 1.
