Restriction is still with HW differences, e.g for skl/kbl with ddi wrpll
within min/max clock range which may generate any required frequency, but
I've been told for bxt there're some gaps in clock range that could be
generated.

That should be plane stride requirement I think.

hmm, what do you mean here? Not enforce to have only one mode for vgpu type?
Or can't change to other mode?
