Hi Jernej,

Thank you for the patch.

This doesn't affect the platforms I maintain, so I can't really test this, but 
I'm wondering whether there could be other platforms using a v2.12a DW HDMI 
that wouldn't need the workaround.

My platforms use a previous version, namely v2.01a. The workaround for that 
version has been enabled by

    drm: bridge: dw-hdmi: Fix overflow workaround for Amlogic Meson GX SoCs

I haven't paid too much attention to the patch back then, and have now double-
checked the HDMI output on R-Car Gen3. Enabling the workaround doesn't cause 
any regression, and reverting the commit doesn't cause any issue either. I 
thus wonder whether we shouldn't enable the workaround with count = 1 in the 
default case instead of adding new IP core versions to the list. It would be 
nice if someone from Synopsys could comment on this.
