The panels are generally designed to support only a single
clock and lane configuration, and typically these values
correspond to the native resolution of the panel. But some
panels advertise the MAX_LINK_RATE in DPCD higher than what
is required to support the native resolution.
So optimize and set the link rate and lane count to the
least values required by the panel to support the native
resolution. This will also be an effective power saving
for such eDP panels.
