This new atomic_check is super-new, and only for validating properties
on the connector, before stuff like the routing or crtc is all set up.
So no, can't be used for that. mode_fixup on the bridge is indeed the
right place for limiting output specific stuff. Yes this is all a bit
awkward, but thus far no one volunteered to improve the helpers after
I explained the full nastiness of the situation ... I think we should
have some helpers that implement the mode_valid helper in terms of the
mode_fixup/atomic_check functions, but that's a bit tricky to get
right :(
