That commit log is great, but it's kind of off-topic. It's a panel
driver, it can be used on any MIPI-DSI controller, the only relevant
information there should be the panel timings required in the datasheet.

The PLL setup is something for the MIPI-DSI driver to adjust, not for
the panel to care for.
