Subject: [PATCH 0/3] drm/i915/display Try YCbCr420 color when RGB fails

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.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Restructure output format computation for better expandability

Couples the decission between RGB and YCbCr420 mode and the check if the port
clock can archive the required frequency. Other checks and configuration steps
that where previously done in between can also be done before or after.

This allows for are cleaner implementation of retrying different color
encodings.

Slight change in behaviour: If YCbCr420 is not allowed but display is YCbCr420
only it no longer fails, but just prints an error and tries to fallback on RGB.

Imho an error message in when YCbCR420 not allowed meets YCbCr420 only can be
a usefull bugfinding tool for cases of blackscreen on exotic configurations.

I'm unsure if this should be a warning instead.
