If you plug in a DVI monitor to your HDMI port, you need to filter out clocks > 165MHz. That's because 165MHz is the maximum clock rate that we can run single-link DVI at.
If you want to run high resolutions to DVI, you'd need some type of an active adapter that pretended that it was HDMI, interpreted the signal, and produced a new dual link DVI signal at a lower clock rate.

Really? I have to wonder what your testing was...
hdmi->vic = drm_match_cea_mode(mode);
if (!hdmi->vic) { dev_dbg(hdmi->dev, "Non-CEA mode used in HDMI\n"); hdmi->hdmi_data.video_mode.mdvi = true; } else { dev_dbg(hdmi->dev, "CEA mode used vic=%d\n", hdmi->vic); hdmi->hdmi_data.video_mode.mdvi = false; }
mdvi indicates whether the _currently set mode_ is a CEA mode or not (imho, it's mis-named). It doesn't indicate whether we have a HDMI display device or a DVI display device connected, which seems to be what you want to use it for below.
To sort that, what you need to do is detect a HDMI display device using drm_detect_hdmi_monitor() on the EDID received from the device before parsing the modes, and save that value in a dw_hdmi struct member, and I'd suggest that it's a top-level struct member, not buried in 'hdmi_data' or 'video_mode'.

OK, so clearly my patch won't work against mainline. I guess it's a good thing that I pointed out that it was only tested locally (would have been better to test against mainline, but I don't think that's so easy since there are several unlanded patches in mainline for Rockchip).
As pointed out by others at http://crosreview.com/278255, locally our kernel has a slightly older version of https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/28/291, which would change mdvi to be as needed.
...so I guess my change is blocked on someone reviewing/landing that series. If that series is rejected (or is changed sufficiently so that mdvi no longer is set via drm_detect_hdmi_monitor() then my patch will need to be re-spun.

That's not what I said. I said mdvi is set according to whether the mode being set is a CEA mode or not. We need something set according to the return value of drm_detect_hdmi_monitor(), which will tell us if the connected sink is a HDMI device or a DVI device (based upon the EDID.)
A thought occurs to me this morning though: what happens if you connect a DVI monitor to an AV receiver which is then connected to this device. Does the resulting EDID contain the HDMI vendor ID? If it does, it means that drm_detect_hdmi_monitor() will return true, indicating that the connected device is HDMI, and we will still allow modes greater than 165MHz.
That's probably a scenario that should be checked at some point... and it would throw a question mark over whether this is the correct approach to limit the video modes.

Was "the same"? You mean was untested, or was 3.14? It is probably not the same "3.14 with backports" that I'm testing on, which includes backports + things from the mailing list that haven't landed yet, as many of the unlanded patches are things that make Rockchip HDMI work more correctly. Perhaps I should have called my tree "3.14 with backports + unlanded patches" or "the chromeos 3.14 tree" to make it clearer.
In general I haven't been posting patches that I've made to HDMI since it appears that our tree has significant differences from mainline. In this case the function I was touching looked identical to mainline so I figured posting a patch seemed reasonable.

That's not what I said. I said mdvi is set according to whether the mode being set is a CEA mode or not.
Perhaps now that you can access the patch with the patchwork link you can re-read my email. If/when that patch lands then mdvi _will_ be set as per drm_detect_hdmi_monitor().

If it does, it means that drm_detect_hdmi_monitor() will return true, indicating that the connected device is HDMI, and we will still allow modes greater than 165MHz.
I am nowhere near an HDMI expert. If you have a better suggestion then I'm more than happy for you to post it and drop my patch. In my non-expert opinion, it would seem awfully strange for an AV receiver to modify the EDID though unless it was actively interpreting the signal and generating a whole new signal on the other end. In any case, perhaps you can find such a device and that will give insight to how we should deal with it. Until such a device is found, it seems fruitless to speculate.
Personally, I was pointed at "drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_hdmi.c". If you look there you will find a similar bit of code.
To summarize: I am not planning to spin my patch. I am hopeful that folks could review Yakir's series. Would it help if he re-sent it with different people in the "To" line?
Maybe when Yakir spins his series next he can include my patch?

I'm saying that the mdvi thing behaves the same in all the kernel sources I've seen of this driver, and I'm unaware of anything that changes it - and I've been looking at Jon's 3.14-stable kernels as well as Freescale's git repository.

Something like that needs to be done, but let's get rid of the mdvi thing in struct hdmi_vmode - it doesn't belong there, it isn't part of the currently set video mode, but becomes a property of the connected sink.
I'd also prefer it to be called "is_dvi_sink", especially as its function is changing from "is it a CEA mode" to "is the attached device a DVI sink".
Even better would be to call it "is_hdmi_sink" to maintain positive logic with single-negation where required, rather than double- negation in places.

Well, I object to that patch (see above.)

Neither am I, but I have had the ability to do some testing with AV receivers in the path of a HDMI device, and I've seen how they behave. (I made copious notes on this, which I intend to publish when I have a round tuit.) Unfortunately, I have no DVI devices to test with, and DVI devices are a dying breed - most monitors today come with HDMI sockets instead.
Personally, I was pointed at "drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_hdmi.c". If you look there you will find a similar bit of code.
Yea, I've also been using that for inspiration too, but I put personal testing above what's in someone elses driver. :)

This is actually a _very_ important point. Changing the function of mdvi when it's used in multiple places throughout the driver is not on - it's too big a change:
/*check csc whether needed activated in HDMI mode */ cscon = (is_color_space_conversion(hdmi) && !hdmi->hdmi_data.video_mode.mdvi);
inv_val |= (vmode->mdvi ? HDMI_FC_INVIDCONF_DVI_MODEZ_DVI_MODE : HDMI_FC_INVIDCONF_DVI_MODEZ_HDMI_MODE);
if (hdmi->cable_plugin && !hdmi->hdmi_data.video_mode.mdvi) hdmi_enable_overflow_interrupts(hdmi);
It's unclear what the effect would be to change the meaning of mdvi from "this is a CEA mode" to "the attached device is DVI" in all these locations, and it's just not on to do this in a patch which merely says:
If the monitor support audio, so we should support audio for it, even if the display resolution is No-CEA mode.
In other words, doesn't even describe this change.
In any case, this patch has been dropped from more recent audio driver series.
So, what I'd like to see is a patch series which starts with the change below, and builds on that, with explainations why each change is needed. This is important, as this is shared IP, and we need to make sure that we don't regress non-Rockchip users of this IP. I'll try and do some work in this area if nothing crops up in the next month.

OK. I've mostly been jumping in here to do a bugfix or two, not to take over maintenance of the driver. My general policy is to submit things upstream if at all possible, but I think in the case of HDMI we are just too different from upstream for this to be easy.
I'll let you and Yakir figure out the way forward to keep everyone happy. If that means you submitting some patches then great. If that means Yakir submitting some patches then that's great too. In such a case you can consider my patch to be a bug report and I'll be happy with folks figure out the proper way to do this in the upstream driver. :)
