After taking a look at the Cadence PHY driver, I share the feeling that
hdptx_hdmi_feedback_factor() should be reworked into drm_display helper
and then the struct phy_configure_opts_hdmi can be limited to having a
single unsigned long char_freq or bit_rate field.

I'm not sure whether we need anything corresponding to the TMDS Bit
Clock Ratio control. As far as I understand, it can be deduced from the
Bit Rate.
