[Bug 1332220] [NEW] Backport hdmi_portclock_limit regression fix patch to allow forcing overclocking of DVI/HDMI signals

 

Public bug reported:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72961

Summary: a patch included after upstream kernel 3.10 (and for ubuntu,
whatever was used in the live iso) restricted DVI-D single link
connections to 130MHz. Some monitors, which worked before that patch via
an overclocked single link connection stopped working. This patch lets
the user specify modes manually that are higher than 130MHz "at their
own risk".

I've tested the patch in the upstream bug against the current (as of 19
Jun 2014) git trusty kernel tree and everything seems to work fine.
While the patch listed on the above bug won't apply with git-am, it will
apply as patch -p0.

I have it patched on my local branch, and can send a diff if it's
needed.
