with v6.9 and later there is no output on the BananaPI HDMI connector.

I have bisected the issue to the following commit:

  358e76fd613a ("drm/sun4i: hdmi: Consolidate atomic_check and mode_valid")

With this patch, sun4i_hdmi_connector_clock_valid() is occasionally called
with clock=0, causing the function to return MODE_NOCLOCK.
In the old sun4i_hdmi_mode_valid() before the patch, mode->clock is
always!=0, maybe that gives someone a hint.

This doesn't make sense to me, if only because the two callers of
tmds_char_rate_valid (hdmi_compute_clock and
drm_hdmi_connector_mode_valid) have, right before calling it, checks to
make sure the clock rate isn't 0, and would return MODE_ERROR or EINVAL
in such a case.

Before 6.14, sun4i_hdmi_connector_clock_valid() was also called from
sun4i_hdmi_connector_atomic_check()...

Do you have some logs (with dri.devel=0xff)? Does it happen with 6.15 as
well?

It does not happen with 6.15, as it was fixed in 6.14 with 84e541b1e58e
("drm/sun4i: use drm_atomic_helper_connector_hdmi_check()").

Then we might still need to backport that patch.

Does applying it to 6.9 alone makes it work, or do you need some additional ones (I'm thinking of
ae048fc4f96d in particular, which in turn would require 47368ab437fd)

No way to apply this to anything 6.9. The closest I can get it into is 
6.11, which requires both ae048fc4f96d and 47368ab437fd (with one 
trivial conflict) to make it work. Anthing earlier lacks the entire HDMI 
connector framework.
