The naming already suggests that hclk_vio_h2p is not a clock-part of
the actual dsi controller, but more an internal thing inside the clock
controller.
At least naming and perceived functionality would suggest a chain of
hclk_vio -> hclk_vio_h2p -> pclk_mipi
In any case, I really don't see hclk_vio_h2p to be in the realm of the
actual DSI controller, but more a part of clock-controller / interconnect.
Similar to the NIU clocks for the interconnect.
rk3588 actually tries to implement this already and while the
gate-link clocks are described as "recent", I think this definitly the same
concept used a most/all older Rockchip SoCs, just nobody cared about that
till now ;-) [0] .
So TL;DR I'd really prefer to not leak CRU-details into the DSI controller.
