[PATCH v5 05/10] drm/bridge: dw-hdmi-qp: Add HDMI 2.0 SCDC scrambling and high TMDS clock ratio support

From: Cristian Ciocaltea

Date: Sat Apr 25 2026 - 20:24:30 EST


Enable HDMI 2.0 display modes (e.g. 4K@60Hz) by adding SCDC management
for the high TMDS clock ratio and scrambling, required when the TMDS
character rate exceeds the 340 MHz HDMI 1.4b limit.

A periodic work item monitors the sink's scrambling status to recover
from sink-side resets. On hotplug detect, if SCDC scrambling state is
out of sync with the driver, trigger a CRTC reset to re-establish the
link.

Reject modes requiring TMDS rates above 600 MHz, as those fall in the
HDMI 2.1 FRL domain which is not supported. In no_hpd configurations,
further restrict to 340 MHz since SCDC requires a connected sink.
