I tried configuring my hardware for 2-lane operation, and it appears
to not function, but I haven't been able to determine why. Have you
made any progress on getting your 2-lane interface operational?
2-lane clocks probably require a pixel clock 2x the speed of the
4-lane modes. I'm really tight on time right now, but I can try to
put some time in to investigating the 2-lane operation.
