I think there might be more reasons than memory throughput constraints
for the reasoning behind 37.5Mhz cap on pixel clock. Why not just refer
to the datasheet section that places this constraint so we know its a
hardware restriction.

Should this not be in da850.dtsi since its an SoC imposed constraint? If
a board needs narrower constraint, it can override it. But I guess most
well designed boards will just hit the SoC constraint.
