So I've tried it on a Le Potato (S905X SoC) board. This patch doesn't
do anything here (as expected, since it only targets the G12A and
later code-path).

Doing some more analysis, it seems that
meson_venc_hdmi_supported_mode() simply prevents using any mode with
more than 1920 pixels.
I attached a simple patch to overcome this (discarding any
meson_vclk.c changes):
$ cat /sys/class/drm/card1-HDMI-A-1/modes
2560x1440
2048x1152
1920x1200
1920x1080
...

My monitor's OSD tells me that I'm running at 2560x1440@...z.

@Neil, should we bump the limits in meson_venc.c to "4Kx2K@60" (that's
a quote from both, S905/GXBB and S905D3/SM1 datasheets), most likely
meaning: 4096x2160?


Best regards,
Martin
