This can be 14, see below

These last two PUSH_MTHDs can be combined since each mthd comes one
after the other:

PUSH_MTHD(push, NVCA7D, HEAD_SET_PIXEL_CLOCK_FREQUENCY_HI(i),
	  NVVAL(NVCA7D, HEAD_SET_PIXEL_CLOCK_FREQUENCY_HI, HERTZ,
		(u32)(hz >> 31)),

	  		HEAD_SET_PIXEL_CLOCK_FREQUENCY_HI_MAX(i),
	  NVVAL(NVCA7D, HEAD_SET_PIXEL_CLOCK_FREQUENCY_HI_MAX(i),
		(u32 hz >> 31)));

That also lets you go from 15 to 14 in the PUSH_WAIT above.
