So dpcd[0x1] == 0xa ?
Yes. [*]
What about the magic second version of DP_MAX_LINK_RATE at 0x2201 ?
Hmm. I guess we should already be reading that via
intel_dp_extended_receiver_capabilities().
Yes, you do.
[*] Well, i have to recheck on the machine. I started this work on the AMD side and checked what AMD DC gave me, haven't rechecked stuff under i915 that i already knew from AMD. Comparing the implementations, there's some peculiar differences that may matter:
intel_dp_extended_receiver_capabilities() is more "paranoid" than AMD DC's retrieve_link_cap() function in deciding if the extended receiver caps are valid. Intels implementation copies only the first 6 Bytes of extended receiver caps into the dpcd[] arrays, whereas AMD copies 16 Bytes. Not sure about the differences, but one of you may wanna check why this is, and if it matters somehow.
Btw. your proposed
/* blah */
if (max_rate > ...)
wouldn't work if dpcd[0x1] == 0xa, which it likely is [*]. AMD DC identified it as DP 1.1, eDP 1.3, and these extended caps seem to be only part of DP 1.3+ if i understand the comments in intel_dp_extended_receiver_capabilities() correctly.
