Subject: [PATCH 5.6 125/166] drm/vc4: Fix HDMI mode validation

From: Nicolas Saenz Julienne <nsaenzjulienne@...e.de>

[ Upstream commit b1e7396a1d0e6af6806337fdaaa44098d6b3343c ]

Current mode validation impedes setting up some video modes which should
be supported otherwise. Namely 1920x1200@...z.

Fix this by lowering the minimum HDMI state machine clock to pixel clock
ratio allowed.

Fixes: 32e823c63e90 ("drm/vc4: Reject HDMI modes with too high of clocks.")
