I read a few eDP panel data sheets, the PWM frequencies all start from
~200Hz. If the VBT chooses this lowest value to allow for more
brightness control, and then this patch lowers the value by another 25%,
we'll end up below the panel allowed PWM frequency. 

In fact, one of the systems I checked had PWM frequency as 200Hz in VBT
and the panel datasheet also had PWM frequency range starting from
200Hz. Have you considered this case?

You are allowing fxp between +/- 25% of the actual. This isn't same as
the "Effective frequency is within 25% of desired frequency." right? The
frequency can vary between -20% and +33%.
