Another points for YUV422 and YUV420 are:
- mandatory YUV420 for pre-HDMI2 displays to achieve 4k60 with HDMI1.4 max TDMS
- possibility to achieve factorial frequencies for 10/12bits, it's not the case for YUV422, it's the same TMDS character rate for 8, 19, 12 and 16bits
- selecting YUV422 instead of YUV444 for 10/12/16 for 4k60 in HDMI2.0

Today we do not take in account the SCDC feedback from the display, but at some point we should
monitor the Scrambling_Status and Character Error Detection to lower down from YUV444 to 422 and 420
for example.
