Just enable debug output in sunxi_dw_hdmi.c and clock parameters should be 
displayed during boot (dotclock == pixel clock).

While I don't have such monitor, I got report about non working video output 
on such monitor. This patch solved it.

Issue is most apparent when pixel clock is between 148.5 MHz and 192 MHz. Even 
then, it might work sometimes or unstable. I can tell you that I managed to 
have stable output even when PLL3 was set to 128 MHz, but only if correct PLL 
factors were used. If I set different ones (with same output frequency), it 
didn't work. I imagine it might also depend on a chip batch. Some chips may 
better handle lower rates than others.

At the end, I think there is a reason why Allwinner provided clock driver 
doesn't use frequencies below 192 MHz.

I'm not sure I understand the question. Anyway, 912 MHz is taken from 
Allwinner clock driver: https://github.com/Allwinner-Homlet/H3-BSP4.4-linux/
blob/master/drivers/clk/sunxi/clk-sun8iw7_tbl.c#L130

Maximum pixel clock supported by HDMI is 297 MHz, but using broader PLL range 
in combination with TCON and PHY clock dividers (both dividers are in range of 
1-16) allows better fine tunning pixel clock and thus more standard and non-
standard resolutions can be supported.

Best regards,
Jernej
