This code path is not an error, is it? No reason to print anything here.

This is an error, but maybe the error message should say something else.
I mean, "failed to _read_ display clk rate", when the user tries to set
pixel clock, doesn't quite make sense =).

I don't see a reason for this print either. This is normal if the
platform doesn't support changing the lcdc's input clock.

If the clock divider path easily creates pixel clocks that are quite far
from the requested ones (which I think it does), I think it would make
sense to have a print here if the final pixel clock is far enough from
the requested one. And that's a valid print for the current code path
too, as it's not clear whether lcdc's input clock can be set to an exact
value.

Extra change here.
