This is too early. We want to keep clock as is for checking whether RGB
output is possible with 420_also modes.

So the structure you had in your original patch was the correct way to
go about it. Which I think was something along the lines of:

if (420_only)
	clock /= 2;

status = intel_hdmi_mode_clock_valid()
if (status != OK) {
	if (420_only || !420_also || !420_allowed)
		return status;
	
	clock /= 2;
	status = intel_hdmi_mode_clock_valid()
}

That needs s/||/&&/ or we flip the conditions around to:

if (ret) {
	if (output_format == 420 || !420_allowed || !420_also)
		return ret;

	output_format = 420;
	...
}

which would have the benefit of avoiding the extra indent level.
