[BUG, BISECTED] HDMI not working with Intel Arc GPU

[Harry Yoo]

Hi folks, I use my laptop with a second monitor connected via HDMI.
After kernel upgrade, my second monitor became blank (black screen) and
displays nothing. So I started bisection.

Here's my GPU info, the first bad commit, and the git bisect log.
I'm really looking forward to seeing this fixed :-)
I really enjoy working with a second monitor.

    drm/i915/cx0_phy: Use HDMI PLL algorithm for C10 PHY
    
    Try HDMI PLL alogorithm for C10 PHY, if there are no pre-computed tables.
    Also get rid of the helpers to get rate for HDMI for C10/20 PHY, as we no
    longer depend only on pre-computed tables.
