This does not work, because both LVDS and TV run on a fixed clock
(which does not necessarily agree with the dotclock of the mode),
hence you can't clone them. At least not in all cases, and imo trying
to support such a configuration in more cases is wasted effort. If you
need to drive that many outputs, you're not in the market of a low-end
igd solution like gm45 imho.
