The idea is that the link is the intersection between sink and source
capabilities. Drivers are supposed to call drm_dp_link_probe() to obtain
the capabilities of the sink and then adjust the struct drm_dp_link
according to their limitations (e.g. decrease the maximum rate if they
don't support 5.4 GHz, reduce the number of lanes if they only support
two, ...).

Once that's done the drivers can call drm_dp_link_choose() to select the
"best" set of configuration parameters given the link capabilities.

Note that this is strictly deriven from reading the specification under
the assumption that this is how things work in real life. My, arguably
limited, experience with Tegra shows that this is true. But perhaps that
is overly naive.

But I'd like to better understand what other drivers require so that
these helpers can be improved and be useful by more than a single
driver. Currently every driver implements their own DP stack, which I
think is rather unfortunate because we end up with vastly different
behaviour depending on which driver is in use.

Of course if that's what's desired, I'm more than happy to move this
code into the Tegra driver. I might have to duplicate the code that's
shared with MSM, but it's really not a lot compared to what's coming
up.

Agreed.
