I don't have an answer for you, unfortunately. But like I said,
hard-coding isn't going to work. What if, for example, you set this to a
fixed value and then you connect a monitor that doesn't support the
specific one you set?

You cited code from dw_hdmi.c earlier, it looks like it might be correct
even though it doesn't cite a reference for why this was done. Perhaps
someone on this thread, or someone involved with dw_hdmi can answer
where that code came from.
