Well as Dave Stevenson stated on the previous thread[1], it's the firmware that sets up the HSM limitation. IIUC technically both HSM and pixel clocks could be increased. Hence this being more of a RPi limitation than the chip itself. "Whilst the firmware would appear to use a fixed HSM clock on Pi0-3, I don't anticipate there being any issue with varying it. It looks like there was the expectation of it being variable in the past, but someone has refactored it and either accidentally or deliberately given up on the idea."

A device-tree patch I have to channel trough the SoC tree depends on this to avoid regressions. Regards, Nicolas

Current mode validation impedes setting up some video modes which should be supported otherwise. Namely 1920x1200@60Hz. Fix this by lowering the minimum HDMI state machine clock to pixel clock ratio allowed.
