Most of my tests with the imx-drm driver have been through the LVDS
panel so far.

For HDMI, I haven't gone through too much of testing yet, only basic
raw framebuffer at full HD resolution.

I know Tony/Robert (and Sascha) and some folks at the Wandboard
mailing list have also tested HDMI with the previous version of the
HDMI driver that was posted by Tony.

Ok, interesting. Will run a video test pattern via gstreamer
videotestsrc plugin to see how it behaves.

I am travelling tomorrow, so it will be at last in 2 weeks that I will
be able to access a mx6 hardware.

In the meantime, maybe one of the folks in Cc could share some ideas.
