Thanks for comments! In my opinion, branch device (MST hub) would tell
source driver the available PBN for each extended port it owns.
And source driver will renew it everytime after HPD coming. 
That's why we should refer the PBN report by MST branch to calculate
dot clock rate and make sure sink can support the resolution while
creating mode list.

Here try to get the max dot clock according to PBN value from sink. If driver can't
find it, will return the orginal max_dotclk_freq.

Then driver would the clock rate exceed max_dotclk or not to create mode list.

	if (mode_rate > max_rate || mode->clock > max_dotclk)
		return MODE_CLOCK_HIGH;

When connect to MST hub with HDMI 1.4 output. If user connect the monitor with
HDMI 2.0 capability. EDID from sink shows it can meet DP 1.2 requirement and
source set the prefer resolution (4k@60fps) to display. But MST hub can't
output the video data via its HDMI port due to this resolution already exceed
its ability.

This change may increase source driver compatibility at MST mode. Please give us
advice if more concern.
