Issue
I need to make a fixed-frequency screen (with a new custom mode line):
{ DRM_MODE("1080x1920", DRM_MODE_TYPE_DRIVER, 137930,
1080, 1140, 1150, 1185, 0,
1920, 1928, 1932, 1940, 0,
DRM_MODE_FLAG_NHSYNC | DRM_MODE_FLAG_NVSYNC),
.vrefresh = 60, .picture_aspect_ratio = HDMI_PICTURE_ASPECT_16_9, },
(in edid_cea_modes[] in imx-hdp.c) work with the iMX8M.
My problem is that there is no 137,930 KHz mode in
/* Table 8. HDMI TX clock control settings (pixel clock is output) */
const u32 t28hpc_hdmitx_clock_control_table_pixel_out[T28HPC_HDMITX_CLOCK_CONTROL_TABLE_ROWS_PIXEL_OUT][T28HPC_HDMITX_CLOCK_CONTROL_TABLE_COLS_PIXEL_OUT] = {

in t28hpc_hdmitx_table.c.
I need to learn:
Is the table the full extent of what the GPU/DCSS can do? (In which case it can't drive my 1080x1920 portrait screen.)
If 137,930 KHz modes are physically possible in the DCSS, where do I get the other numbers from? (I assume that they're register settings.)
Solution
I've made this work.
The first step was to add a new row to t28hpc_hdmitx_clock_control_table_pixel_out[][] in drivers/gpu/drm/imx/hdp/t28hpc_hdmitx_table.c:
{138375, 1000, 1383750, 0x03, 0x1, 0x1, 615, 0x1E8, 0x07B, 40, 0x012, 0x012, 5535000, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 691875, 0x2, 138375, 1},
I generated these values with a day of staring at this table and finding patterns. Hint: one relation between fields involves a + 4 modification.
This still failed, but now with the error:
[ 2.147134] [drm] API_AFE_t28hpc_hdmitx.c:406 pixel_freq_khz: 138375, feedback_factor: 1000
[ 2.155556] [drm] API_AFE_t28hpc_hdmitx.c:409 Pixel clock frequency (138375 KHz) is supported in this color depth (8-bit). Settings found in row 16
[ 2.168785] [drm] VCO frequency is 5535000
[ 2.172900] [drm] API_AFE_t28hpc_hdmitx.c:499 VCO frequency (5535000 KHz) not supported
[ 2.180925] [drm:hdmi_phy_init_t28hpc] *ERROR* failed to set phy pclock
[ 2.187557] [drm:imx_hdp_imx_bind] *ERROR* Failed to initialise HDP PHY
I fixed this by the modifying a row in t28hpc_hdmitx_pll_tuning_table_pixel_out[][] from:
{11, 4950000, 4950000, 0x6, 0x3, 0x1, 0x00, 0x07, 550, 0x42, 213, 7, 258},
to
{11, 5535000, 5535000, 0x6, 0x3, 0x1, 0x00, 0x07, 615, 0x42, 213, 7, 258},
All that was required was to change instances of 4950000 to 5535000 and 550 to 615 to account for the frequency differences.
I've ended up with a screen that runs 0.3% too fast, due to there being no integer solutions which yield exactly 137,930 KHz, but that's better than a black screen.
With a few hours' additional work, I can probably tweak the porches to get 60Hz at a 138,375 KHz pixel clock.
