There is a document called "JZ4780 High Efficiency Engine for Mobile Device"
(JZ4780_PB.pdf) which says

"24-bit parallel/serial TFT interface, HDMI 1.4a interface, LVDS interface"

And the data sheet ("JZ4780 Mobile Application Processor Data Sheet ") says: "Support HDMI 1.4a Interface"

Finally, the programming manual also says "Support HDMI 1.4a Interface".

So what is correct?

dmesg may return something else. E.g. silicon revision 1.31a
while the interface is HDMI protocol revision 1.4a compatible?

Trying to find something about "hdmi 1.31a" did only lead to some
"Synopsys' HAPS-51 eval platform" [1].

Looking at HDMI standards [2] I can only find HDMI 1.3 and 1.3a but no HDMI 1.31a.

[1] https://www.digital-cp.com/hdcp-products/haps51-hdmi-tx-platform-dwc-hdmi-tx-controller-131a-ea-hdmi-3d-tx-phy-tsmc40g-ip
[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Version_1.3

Well it may also be some Synopsys-internal designation 1.31a referring so something
newer than HDMI 1.3a which became the HDMI 1.4 standard (released June 2009)...

Whom should we believe? What the chip tells or what the data sheet and programming
manual says?

I tend to keep confusion low and stay with "HDMI 1.4" in the bindings because
there is no offical "HDMI 1.31a" standard. And HDMI 1.4 was already some years old
when the jz4780 was released. So it is likely that the chip identification just
returns 1.31a (maybe Ingenic licenced an interim release VHDL) although the standard
was later officially named 1.4a.

It is indeed more general and not jz4780 specific. I'll move it for v6.

BR and thanks,
