As I stated in earlier patches, the whole idea is pick the desired
dclk divider based dclk rate. So the dotclock, sun4i_dclk_round_rate
is unable to get the proper dclk divider at the end, so it eventually
picking up wrong divider value and fired vblank timeout.

So, we come-up with optimal and working min_rate 300MHz in pll-mipi to
get the desired clock something like below.
[ 2.415773] [drm] No driver support for vblank timestamp query.
[ 2.424116] sun4i_dclk_round_rate: min_div = 4 max_div = 127, rate = 55000000
[ 2.424172] ideal = 220000000, rounded = 0
[ 2.424176] ideal = 275000000, rounded = 0
[ 2.424194] ccu_nkm_round_rate: rate = 330000000
[ 2.424197] ideal = 330000000, rounded = 330000000
[ 2.424201] sun4i_dclk_round_rate: div = 6 rate = 55000000
[ 2.424205] sun4i_dclk_round_rate: min_div = 4 max_div = 127, rate = 55000000
[ 2.424209] ideal = 220000000, rounded = 0
[ 2.424213] ideal = 275000000, rounded = 0
[ 2.424230] ccu_nkm_round_rate: rate = 330000000
[ 2.424233] ideal = 330000000, rounded = 330000000
[ 2.424236] sun4i_dclk_round_rate: div = 6 rate = 55000000
[ 2.424253] ccu_nkm_round_rate: rate = 330000000
[ 2.424270] ccu_nkm_round_rate: rate = 330000000
[ 2.424278] sun4i_dclk_recalc_rate: val = 1, rate = 330000000
[ 2.424281] sun4i_dclk_recalc_rate: val = 1, rate = 330000000
[ 2.424306] ccu_nkm_set_rate: rate = 330000000, parent_rate = 297000000
[ 2.424309] ccu_nkm_set_rate: _nkm.n = 5
[ 2.424311] ccu_nkm_set_rate: _nkm.k = 2
[ 2.424313] ccu_nkm_set_rate: _nkm.m = 9
[ 2.424661] sun4i_dclk_set_rate div 6
[ 2.424668] sun4i_dclk_recalc_rate: val = 6, rate = 55000000

But look like this wouldn't valid for all other dclock rates, say BPI
panel has 30MHz clock that would failed with this logic.

On the other side Allwinner BSP calculating dclk divider based on the
SoC's. for A33 [1] it is fixed dclk divider of 4 and for A64 is is
calculated based on the bpp/lanes.

Since the above min_rate is not desired for possible panels clock, I
think we can rely on BSP to make a move here. I'm planning to do these
changes in next version.

Let me know if you have any comments here?
