I wish it was in your commit log in the first place, instead of having
to exchange multiple mails over this.

However, I don't think that's quite true, and it might be a bug in
Allwinner's implementation (or rather something quite confusing).

You're right that the lcd_rate and pll_rate seem to be generated from
the pixel clock, and it indeed looks like the ratio between the pixel
clock and the TCON dotclock is defined through the number of bits per
lanes.

However, in this case, dsi_rate is actually the same than lcd_rate,
since pll_rate is going to be divided by dsi_div:
https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-M64-bsp/blob/master/linux-sunxi/drivers/video/sunxi/disp2/disp/de/disp_lcd.c#L791

Since lcd_div is 1, it also means that in this case, dsi_rate ==
dclk_rate.

The DSI module clock however, is always set to 148.5 MHz. Indeed, if
we look at:
https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-M64-bsp/blob/master/linux-sunxi/drivers/video/sunxi/disp2/disp/de/disp_lcd.c#L804

We can see that the rate in clk_info is used if it's different than
0. This is filled by disp_al_lcd_get_clk_info, which, in the case of a
DSI panel, will hardcode it to 148.5 MHz:
https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-M64-bsp/blob/master/linux-sunxi/drivers/video/sunxi/disp2/disp/de/lowlevel_sun50iw1/disp_al.c#L164

So, the DSI clock is set to this here:
https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-M64-bsp/blob/master/linux-sunxi/drivers/video/sunxi/disp2/disp/de/disp_lcd.c#L805

The TCON *module* clock (the one in the clock controller) has been set
to lcd_rate (so the pixel clock times the number of bits per lane) here:
https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-M64-bsp/blob/master/linux-sunxi/drivers/video/sunxi/disp2/disp/de/disp_lcd.c#L800

And the PLL has been set to the same rate here:
https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-M64-bsp/blob/master/linux-sunxi/drivers/video/sunxi/disp2/disp/de/disp_lcd.c#L794

Let's take a step back now: that function we were looking at,
lcd_clk_config, is called by lcd_clk_enable, which is in turn called
by disp_lcd_enable here:
https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-M64-bsp/blob/master/linux-sunxi/drivers/video/sunxi/disp2/disp/de/disp_lcd.c#L1328

The next function being called is disp_al_lcd_cfg, and that function
will hardcode the TCON dotclock divider to 4, here:
https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-M64-bsp/blob/master/linux-sunxi/drivers/video/sunxi/disp2/disp/de/lowlevel_sun50iw1/disp_al.c#L240

So, in the end, the dotclock divider is always 4, the DSI module clock
is set to 148.5 MHz, and the TCON module clock is set to 330MHz. Since
the TCON module clock doesn't have a divider, the PLL is set at that
same value but this is redundant.

I'll experiment with this and try to see how it works on the A33.
