We need both hunks to fix the regression, which is why I've smashed them
into the same patch.

Well, neither do I have a clue about sdvo, but I think I somewhat
self-consistent explanation for what's going on.

Sdvo seems to have two timings, one is the output timing which will be
sent over whatever is connected on the other side of the sdvo chip (panel,
hdmi screen, tv), the other is the input timing which will be generated by
the gmch pipe. It looks like sdvo is expected to scale between the two.

To make things slightly more complicated, we have a bunch of special
cases:
- for lvds panel we always use a fixed output timing, namely
  intel_sdvo->sdvo_lvds_fixed_mode, hence that special case.
- sdvo has an interface to generate a preferred input timing for a given
  output timing. This is the confusing thing that I've tried to clear up
  with the follow-on patches.
- a special requirement is that the input pixel clock needs to be between
  100MHz and 200MHz (likely to keep it within the electromechanical design
  range of PCIe). Lower pixel clocks are doubled/quadrupled.

The thing this patch tries to fix is that the pipe needs to be explicit
instructed to double/quadruple the pixels and needs the correspondingly
higher pixel clock, whereas the sdvo adaptor seems to do that itself and
needs the unadjusted pixel clock.

This patch tries to fix this mess by
- keeping the output mode timing in the unadjusted plain mode, safe for
  the lvds case.
- store the input timing in the adjusted_mode with the adjusted pixel
  clock. This way we don't need to frob around with the core crtc mode set
  code.
- fixup the pixelclock when constructing the sdvo dtd timing struct. This
  is why the first part of the patch is an integral part of the series.
- the is_tv special case can be dropped because input_dtd is equivalent to
  adjusted_mode after these changes. Follow-up patches clear this up
  further (by simply ripping out intel_sdvo->input_dtd because it's not
  needed).

Hopefully this clears things up a bit.

Cheers, Daniel
