I don't know if anyone (from nouveau) looks at gitlab, so mailing list
is probably best anyways.

Those HDMI mode clocks are too high against the nominal single-link
165MHz TMDS. You can set your own maximum with nouveau.hdmimhz=300
(for example) to allow it. I believe the connectors aren't rated for
that though. The commit which fixed this is

    drm/nouveau/kms: disallow dual-link harder if hdmi connection detected

and went into v5.3. I'm not sure where this got broken... I think it
would have been

commit 9340d77f5327ea673a7f95f58139123d7a278243
Author: Ilia Mirkin <imirkin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Mon Sep 3 20:57:37 2018 -0400

    drm/nouveau/disp: take sink support into account for exposing 594mhz

which went into v4.20, but it could also have been

commit 1a0c96c075bb4517d4ce4fb6750ee0a3cf38714c
Author: Ilia Mirkin <imirkin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Tue Nov 3 21:00:11 2015 -0500

    drm/nouveau/kms: allow 225/297MHz pixel clocks for HDMI on Fermi/Kepler

which went into v4.5 and lines up with your timeline better, but seems
like it shouldn't be handing out those high frequencies to HDMI
connectors on tesla...

Cheers,
