Initially I thought this was wrong because it's only added for the
G12A (which is also used on G12B and SM1) code-path, leaving out the
GX SoCs.

Was the 2560x1440 mode tested on a computer monitor or a TV?
I suspect it's the former, so I think it expected the code to take the
MESON_VCLK_TARGET_DMT path, which automatically calculates m and frac.

I'll give it a try on Friday as I do have a computer monitor with that
resolution - so any hints for testing are welcome!

The original patch is from Hardkernel sources - I’ve picked it several
years ago and then updated values semi-recently after 1000ULL changes.
The user who originally requested that I cherry-pick it (and tested it)
was using an Odroid N2+ board (G12B) with a Dell monitor IIRC. It’s not
tested by myself as I only have TV’s not monitors, so it will be good
to have your confirmation (either way). If it’s wrong I’ll be happy to
drop it - I’m just trying to upstream and offload some longer-running
and allegedly good patches in the LibreELEC kernel patchset.

So I've tried it on a Le Potato (S905X SoC) board. This patch doesn't
do anything here (as expected, since it only targets the G12A and
later code-path).

Doing some more analysis, it seems that
meson_venc_hdmi_supported_mode() simply prevents using any mode with
more than 1920 pixels.
I attached a simple patch to overcome this (discarding any
meson_vclk.c changes):
$ cat /sys/class/drm/card1-HDMI-A-1/modes
2560x1440
2048x1152
1920x1200
1920x1080
...

My monitor's OSD tells me that I'm running at 2560x1440@60Hz.

@Neil, should we bump the limits in meson_venc.c to "4Kx2K@60" (that's
a quote from both, S905/GXBB and S905D3/SM1 datasheets), most likely
meaning: 4096x2160?


Best regards,
Martin
