So I've just found out that my understanding of what sun4i_dotclock is
was wrong the whole time. I treated it as a virtual clock representing
the true CRTC pixel clock and only coincidentally also matching what
A64 Reference Manual labels as TCON0 data clock (a coincidence to which
DSI is an exception).

Now that I finally see dotclock as 'what could dclk be an abbreviation
to', I to agree that it's not only straightforward but also correct to
keep the divider at 4 and adjust the rate as is done it the patch Frank
submitted.

In order to preserve semantic correctness however, I propose to preface
the change with a patch that renames sun4i_dotclock and tcon-pixel-clock
such that dot/pixel is replaced with d/data. What do you think?
