Yes. It's derived from the core clock, which is often referred to as
the VPU clock.

It shouldn't, but that doesn't mean that the monitor doesn't like the
clock change. It should never exceed the 100kHz rate that the HDMI/DVI
spec states (HDMI v1.4 spec section 8.4.1).

If you set drm module parameter "debug" to 0x04, then DRM should log
the hotplug handling and EDID parsing in the kernel log.
The HDMI spec does say that the HDMI sink (ie monitor) can clock
stretch the DDC transaction. It doesn't state a maximum amount of time
that it can stretch for, and most I2C drivers will time out
transactions after some period. The DRM logging would probably show
something under these conditions though.
