So reading throgh HDMI 1.4 again it does specify 340 MHz as some kind
of upper limit for the physical cable. But nowhere else is that number
really mentioned AFAICS. HDMI 2.0 does talk quite a bit about the 340
Mcsc limit in various places.

I wonder what people would think of a couple of helpers like:
- drm_hdmi_{can,must}_use_scrambling()
- drm_hdmi_is_high_tmds_clock_ratio()
or something along those lines? At least with those the code would
read decently and I wouldn't have to wonder what this HDMI 1.4 TMDS
clock limit really is.
