Yes, we do not have a way to specify that the connector is HDMI 1.x or
2.0. However I think the code that we currently have ensures that the
flag is set if and only if the HDMI Host and all the chain after it
actually supports YUV 420, which would imply HDMI 2.0.
I know that drm_bridge_connector has one deficiency wrt. YCbCr 420 flag:
it is impossible to "inject" YUV420 in the middle of the chain (e.g. DSI
host outputs RGB data, but then comes DSI2HDMI bridge which can convert
RGB data to YUV). I kept that in mind, but I'd like to see an actual
usecase first. And anyway, this currently limits YUV support rather than
enabing it in the unwanted cases.
