The `crosreview.com` syntax doesn't seem to work anymore. Could maybe
update to https://crrev.com/c/285855 ?

Should probably change the "at" to "@" ?

In general shouldn't carry downstream reviews when posting upstream
unless you're certain that the person intended it...


It's been a long time, but in general I think I was fairly confident
in the numbers that my script pumped out, at least given the caveat of
no pixel repetition and 8-bit only. That being said, I didn't have any
inside knowledge of the hardware and just figured out formulas that
seemed to match the table that I had. YMMV.

I'll also say that when I did a rebase of veyron (rk3288-based
Chromebook) to 4.19 about 2.5 years ago, I ended up squashing several
of these patches into 1. That can be found at
<https://crrev.com/c/1661056>. That also has details about why some of
these patches never made it upstream. The main reason, at least in the
case of rk3288, was the PLL sharing problem that nobody ever solved.
rk3288 didn't have quite enough PLLs and thus, if you were using both
VOPs, one of the VOPs was going to be severely limited in what pixel
clocks it could make. There was no framework deciding which VOP should
be limited and how the system should react to this...


In any case, I'm pretty far disconnected from all this stuff now, but
I wish you the best of luck in trying to get it all solved!
