[PATCH v8 11/39] drm/display: hdmi-state-helper: Set HDMI scrambling requirement

From: Cristian Ciocaltea

Date: Thu Jul 02 2026 - 10:53:49 EST


Set drm_connector_hdmi_state.scrambler_needed when the computed TMDS
character rate exceeds the HDMI 1.3 maximum TMDS character rate.

HDMI 2.0 requires scrambling above 340 MHz. Centralize that clock-based
requirement in the HDMI state helper so drivers do not need to open-code
the threshold check.
