There should not be.

Whenever OLDI is enabled, the clock generated from the PLL is 7 times
the required pixel clock.

For the OLDI TXes, the clock passes through a /2 divider. This divider
only gets activated when the dual mode has been enabled in the OLDI
configuration. Thus the OLDI TXes get 3.5x the pixel clock in dual mode.

When the OLDI has been configured for a single mode,
the PLL clock passes through the /2 divider without any change.

Ideally, yes, its the pixel frequency that we are supposed to set here.

The same PLL clock (7 times the pixel frequency) passes through a /7
clock divider. This clock divider only gets active when OLDI is enabled.
Thus, the DSS VP clock input, only gets the actual pixel frequency that
it needs.

Since, the /7 divider is controlled by a signal from the DSS, the driver
needs to request 7 times more the pixel clock to accommodate for the
divider.

In AM65X, the system FW is able to model the 7 times requirement because
the divider is not controlled by the DSS signal. DSS signal controls a
multiplexer which receives both PLL Clock and PLL / 7 clock.
