No clue where things are going wrong, but you either avoid or
misunderstand the question.

(Talking exclusively about compressed data here!)

pclk is determined based on the number of bytes.

When widebus is enabled, we transfer twice as many bytes per pclk cycle.

Can pclk be reduced by a factor two, as that should still be enough to
transfer the same amount of bytes when widebus is enabled?

You(r team) came up with irrelevant video-mode checks in these patches,
and you keep bringing up topics that I did not mention (such as
suddently talking about uncompressed formats above).  Stop pretending
there's any nefarious intent here unless you intend to push external
contributors away.

Perhaps if you answer the question?
