[PATCH v10 20/69] drm/display: hdmi-state-helper: Add source TMDS rate validation

From: Cristian Ciocaltea

Date: Fri Jul 31 2026 - 12:37:26 EST


Validate the computed TMDS character rate against
connector->hdmi.max_tmds_char_rate, when provided by the driver/source.

This gives HDMI connectors common support for rejecting modes whose TMDS
character rate exceeds the source supported limit, while still allowing
drivers with custom validation requirements to implement their own
tmds_char_rate_valid() callback.
