I looked at the NXP down-stream code to compare the HBP, HFP, and HSA
values [1] to what we're generating with this mainline code, but the
formula to achieve these values doesn't make sense to me.  The
equations for the 4-lane calculation were pretty straight-forward.

I tried to do a look-up table similar to the method that NXP did, but
it was rejected in favor of a formula to calculate values.  You  might
try to see if using hard-coded values for HFP, HBP and HSA work for
your display which would at least narrow down where the problem might
be.  NXP's downstream code also has a work-around for calculating the
PHY [2] which only appears to affect 720P at 60 for some reason.

If someone has an idea of how to calculate the 2-lane timings for HFP,
HBP, and HSA, that would be useful.

720p at 60
HFP     HBP     HSA
159      324       54 (calculated with current formula)
159      320       40 (downstream look-up table)
