This only works when taking over from UEFI, so on boot or resume from
hibernate. This wouldn't work on a normal suspend/resume.

Can you check if setting link->dc->config.optimize_edp_link_rate (see
first if statement in detect_edp_sink_caps) fixes this? I imagine we
need to read the reported settings from DP_SUPPORTED_LINK_RATES and fail
to do so.

Thanks,
