When I set the range of pixel clock frequencies on simple-panel connected
to this encoder, the check still fails, so there's something not working
there as expected. This check is only called once with a typical frequency.

I guess drm doesn't implement clock-frequency range on panels. But I haven't
looked.

I can set the exact frequency that the SoC can provide on the simple-panel,
but that's a bit of a hack.
