Well, the data sheet for the dsi86 says up to 750MHz DSI HS clock, and
if the value specified in samsung,burst-clock-frequency is twice the DSI
HS clk, I suppose I should be good up to 1.5GHz? I have tried many
different values, but I never seem to get anything through; I think I'm
missing some piece.

So now I've tried to use these patches on the imx8mp-evk with the
mipi->hdmi accessory from NXP, just to see if I can ever get any
graphics through the mipi interface. And there the story is the same:
the adv7535 bridge gets probed, and can read out the edid from the
monitor over hdmi. And while the mipi block and the bridge seem to
attach to each other, I still don't get any output.

Do any of you happen to have this working on the imx8mp-evk, and if so,
can you share the .dts updates you've done and how exactly you test the
graphics?

Thanks,
Rasmus
