There's also the issue whether the output can cope with fractional clock-skipping dividers - entirely synchronous display systems can (such as synchronously clocked LCD panels), but asynchronous display systems (such as HDMI, TV out, etc) can't. That said, the other parameter that needs to be taken account of here is that even with the fractional divider, the minimum output clock period isn't the average frequency, but the maximum frequency, which may violate a panel's minimum clock period specification.
Yeah, the fractional divider isn't made for external HDMI transmitters for sure. I have seen from your branch that there is some Armada 610 stub for OLPC, do they have a dumb panel directly connected?
I believe they do have a dumb panel connected directly. I've asked Jon what the status of OLPC is with mainline kernels, and how difficult it would be to get to the stage where the 610 stuff could be finished off.
