FYI in i915 we validate everything when enumerating the modes, but during a modeset we allow the user mode to exceed the DP++ dongle and sink limitations for just these sort of cases (source limitations we enforce always). The user has manually added the out-of-spec mode so presumably they know what they're doing... Also we can't reliably tell what kind of connector is present on the board so we treat DVI and HDMI the same. DP++ we treat a little special because we can't actually read out the state of the CONFIG1 pin so we can't tell whether a type1 DVI DP++ dongle is present or not. So if we can't read out the dongle registers and the connector *looks* like a DP++ in the video BIOS tables we assume the dongle to be present. But again the user can still override this by forcing an out-of-spec mode.
