Looking at the driver, the PLL configuration is present in the lane number
specific register list so the link frequency is in fact the same for all
modes. This problem isn't introduced by this patch but I think this needs
to be fixed before adding further modes to the driver.

The pixel rate is likely incorrect as well.
