Everything about this panel is ugly.

The panel does not claim to support extended receiver caps. (I have not
seen whether there is non-zero data at 0x2200. Mario, please provide a
dump of that DPCD region.)

The panel does use DPCD_DISPLAY_CONTROL_CAPABLE and reports eDP 1.3 in
EDP_DPCD_REV.

eDP 1.3 says only four values are supported in LINK_BW_SET (0x06, 0x0a,
0x14, and 0x1e). The same for MAX_LINK_RATE for all DP, and even in the
extended receiver cap.

You could perhaps make the case for the interpretation in commit
57a1b0893782 ("drm: Make the bw/link rate calculations more forgiving")
that in eDP 1.4+ you can use arbitrary values in LINK_BW_SET. But I
think that's a stretch, really. And anyway the panel reports eDP 1.3.

The panel is consistent in that it does not claim to support link rate
selection nor does it have anything in SUPPORTED_LINK_RATES which are
eDP 1.4+ features.

However, the panel reports 0x0a as the max link rate in MAX_LINK_RATE,
which exceeds the value 0x0c set in LINK_BW_SET by the firmware.

Bottom line is, *if* we're going to support this proprietary crap of a
panel, it *must* be an isolated quirk. I certainly won't take a patch
generalizing this to any panel out there. But you're going to have to be
pretty clever to isolate this crap. I'm not sure if quirking a homebrew
extended receiver cap is going to be enough.


BR,
Jani.
