I was a little too early.

While preparing the patches I found that I still had the hack to force
sink_is_hdmi = false in my test branch. Sorry for that.

Removing this made the panel go black again, even with your latest
proposal.

So I looked deeper into your patch and it seems to influence the
input formats only in dw_hdmi_bridge_atomic_get_input_bus_fmts()?

While the problem I see is with output formats and we had worked on
modifying dw_hdmi_bridge_atomic_get_output_bus_fmts().

BR and thanks,
Nikolaus
