Correct, I mean the table in the driver. This patch was prompted by an error
returned from rcar_hdmi_phy_configure() when the mode frequency was too high,
making mode setting failed. I've thus added a .mode_valid() handler to ensure
that invalid modes don't get exposed to upper layers, fixing such use cases as
fbvon on a 4K monitor (where the fbcon was picking a mode advertised as
supported by the driver while its frequency was too high).

Well, the IP core vendor doesn't allow us to submit patches based on the
content of non-public documentation, so I'm afraid I won't sign such a patch
without being given explicit permission. It's a very stupid game really, but I
don't set the rules :-(
