When I took your patch and adapted it for imx6qdl-gw54xx.dtsi, I found
that HDMI video out was slightly shifted to the left and resolution
remained at 1024x768p.

I also found that when I disabled DRM_IMX_LDB, HDMI out stopped
working altogether, though if I stripped out the ldb section in device
tree, the resolution comes back at 1080p (regardless of setting
DRM_IMX_LDB or not). There is definitely some strange interdependency
between lvds and hdmi here. Do you have an idea of where I should
start looking for this problem?
