Don't pass dev_priv. It can be extracted from the intel_hdmi.

The name of the function isn't really sitting super well with me.
I guess I'd just call it something like intel_hdmi_mode_clock_valid().

We should also split this big patch up into smaller parts. Just this
mechanical extraction of this function without any functional changes
could be a nice first patch in the series.

We also need a connector->ycbcr_420_allowed check here.

This function I think we just want to throw out and roll something
a bit better.

Something like this I believe should work nicely:

intel_hdmi_compute_output_format()
{
if (drm_mode_is_420_only())
crtc_state->output_format = INTEL_OUTPUT_FORMAT_YCBCR420;
else
crtc_state->output_format = INTEL_OUTPUT_FORMAT_RGB;

ret = intel_hdmi_compute_clock();
if (ret) {
if (crtc_state->output_format == INTEL_OUTPUT_FORMAT_YCBCR420)
return ret;

crtc_state->output_format = INTEL_OUTPUT_FORMAT_YCBCR420;

ret = intel_hdmi_compute_clock()
if (ret)
return ret;
}

return 0;
}

assuming we make intel_hdmi_compute_clock() check whether 420 output
is actually supported.

Could roll a small helper for that. Something along these lines perhaps:
static bool intel_hdmi_ycbcr_420_supported()
{
return connector->ycbcr_420_allowed &&
(drm_mode_is_420_only() || drm_mode_is_420_also());
}

The intel_pch_panel_fitting() call should probably just be hoisted
into intel_hdmi_compute_config() after we've called the new
intel_hdmi_compute_output_format().

I think a three patch series is probably what we want for this:
patch 1: extract intel_hdmi_mode_clock_valid() without 420_also handling
patch 2: introduce intel_hdmi_compute_output_format() without 420_also handling
patch 3: drop in the 420_also handling everywhere

That way if there's any regression due to the 420_also stuff at least
we won't have to revert the whole thing, and can then more easily work
on fixing whatever needs fixing.
