Though I don't have access to any hardware that uses ti-sn65dsi86 and _doesn't_ provide a "refclk", I believe that we'll have trouble reading the EDID at bootup in that case. Specifically I believe that if there's no "refclk" we need the MIPI source clock to be active before we can successfully read the EDID. My evidence here is that, in testing, I couldn't read the EDID until I turned on the DPPLL in the bridge chip and that the DPPLL needs the input clock to be active.
Since this is hard to support, let's punt trying to read the EDID if there's no "refclk".
I don't believe there are any users of the ti-sn65dsi86 bridge chip that _don't_ use "refclk". The bridge chip is _very_ inflexible in that mode. The only time I've seen that mode used was for some really early prototype hardware that was thrown in the e-waste bin years ago when we realized how inflexible it was.
Even if someone is using the bridge chip without the "refclk" they're in no worse shape than they were before the (fairly recent) commit 58074b08c04a ("drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi86: Read EDID blob over DDC").
