Ah sorry for that. I missed that the patch actually was for table rev. 3 only
and not for 4.

These values strongly suggest that indeed the decoding of dfp table rev. 4 is
incorrect. entry 2 is clearly garbage, though shouldn't matter, as entry 1 is
good for up to 200Mhz (which is already higher than the 165Mhz official limit of
tmds). But even the first two entries seem very fishy to me, as they are very
different to the default rv280 values (see the default_tmds_pll table). It
_could_ be different due to a different chip revision or different card
reference design, but even then it wouldn't really make sense to include two
identical entries in the bios.
