Most of the HDMI controllers have an upper TMDS character rate limit they can't exceed. On "embedded"-grade display controllers, it will typically be lower than what high-grade monitors can provide these days, so drivers will filter the TMDS character rate based on the controller capabilities. To make that easier to handle for drivers, let's provide an optional hook to be implemented by drivers so they can tell the HDMI controller helpers if a given TMDS character rate is reachable for them or not. This will then be useful to figure out the best format and bpc count for a given mode.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
