Fix for bug 6691452 : DO NOT MERGE As it so happens, there seem to be panels out there who disapprove of sudden changes in their HDMI clock rate. In particular, Sony LCD panels made from around 2010-2011 (including the Sony GTV panel) seem to dislike this behavior. When exposed to a large jump in the clock rate (say from -100pmm to +100ppm in about 30mSec), they seem to panic, blank their audio and video, and then resync. The whole panic process takes about 2 seconds. The HDMI spec says that its clock jitter requirements are defined by their differential signalling eye diagram requirements relative to an "Ideal Recovery Clock" (see section 4.2.3.1 of the HDMI 1.3a spec). Basically, if you pass the eye diagram tests, you pass the clock jitter requirements. We have determined in lab that even being extremely aggressive in our VCXO rate changes does not come even close to violating the HDMI eye diagrams. Its just this era of Sony panels which seem to be upset by this behavior. One way or the other, experiments which the GTV devices have seemed to indicate that a full range sweep of the VCXO done in 10mSec steps over anything faster than 190mSec can cause trouble. Adding a healthy degree of margin to this finding, the fix is to limit the rate of VCXO control change such that it never goes at a rate faster than FullRange/300mSec. Change flagged as do not merge due to the code structure changes to master. This will need to be merged by hand.
