When encoder validation of a display mode fails, retry with less bandwidth heavy YCbCr420 color mode, if available. This enables some HDMI 1.4 setups to support 4k60Hz output, which previously failed silently.
AMDGPU had nearly the exact same issue. This problem description is therefore copied from my commit message of the AMDGPU patch.
On some setups, while the monitor and the gpu support display modes with pixel clocks of up to 600MHz, the link encoder might not. This prevents YCbCr444 and RGB encoding for 4k60Hz, but YCbCr420 encoding might still be possible. However, which color mode is used is decided before the link encoder capabilities are checked. This patch fixes the problem by retrying to find a display mode with YCbCr420 enforced and using it, if it is valid.
This patchset is revision 5. Only change to 4 is a small whitespace error fix.
