This is just an example of clock tree to be clear to everyone how they
are connected

We have tested on 4-5 displays. Well I don't care on bsp but I care
about if it works
and if other SoC has similar approach on clock calculation.

Having only 10 pages of documentation is a bit difficult.

Well, this will just do a minimal change on source code and put the constrains
to the tcon0

We need to find the closest divider that match the pixel clock and be close
to the ideal tcon0 rate.

I have done the same thinking but because it works for us seems that
somehow is used
to internal logic too
