I've just merged your drm-tda998x-devel branch and booted it on my Juno,
and I can at least confirm that DVI still seems to still work as before.
Anything in particular I should be looking out for? (Unfortunately the
only handy HDMI monitor is one of those slightly-out-of-spec ones which
has never really worked with the pixel clocks Juno provides)
