Does it mean theoretically rescale of lanes is not required??
At least 2 platforms can work with fixed 4 lanes@720p.

and looks like few platforms have display stability issue working with 4 la=
nes@720p,=20
so, as a workaround they changed to 3 lanes based on clock rate to make it =
work.

Can you please confirm, is my understanding correct?

Note:
 On Renesas RZ/G2L platform, 720p with 3 lanes will work, but it needs
 different pll parameters to generate the dot clock to work.
