phy: mediatek: Add support for MT8196 MIPI DSI PHY
This commit adds support for the MIPI DSI PHY found in the MediaTek MT8196
SoC and its variants. It introduces a new register layout and basic D-PHY
functionality needed to drive MIPI DSI displays.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this logic unintentionally restrict the higher signaling voltage to only
exact matches of the maximum PLL rate?
Yes, it does. It's fine. This is on purpose.
There's a way to scale voltages a bit differently (for 4 different freq ranges)
but it's a bit messy to implement, needs me to have different displays to test
all different frequencies (which I don't have), and a bit more code.
The only frequencies that really need the higher signaling voltage are the ones
from 2GHz (which is currently the max frequency, but can be expanded later, as
there will be new HW supporting higher freqs, with the same signaling voltage
increase and the same code for it) onwards.
Since mtk_mipi_tx_pll_determine_rate() clamps the clock rate to
DSI_PHY_PLL_MAX_RATE_HZ (2.0 GHz), mipi_tx->data_rate can never exceed this
value. Consequently, panels requesting data rates slightly below 2.0 GHz
(for example, 1.99 GHz) will fall through to the 1.0 GHz branch instead of
receiving the voltage boost and correct PLL dividers intended for fast data
rates.
Could this conflation between the PLL octave band threshold and the maximum
frequency clamp macro also break the PLL divider logic if the maximum
supported rate limit is increased in the future?
