What eDP revision is the faulty panel? Does [1] help for that? Then we'd
not need this.

I think this also ties in with the alternate/downclock mode. It fails
now and should be reverted [2]. However, if we know the panel has a
valid mode with lower refresh rate, we might have a mode that actually
fits a link with reduced bandwidth.

IMO we need [1], [2], and patches to disconnect downclock mode from drrs
support (so we/user can choose the downclock mode independent of drrs),
and finally eDP link fallback selection based on if there's a downclock
mode and if it fits a link with reduced link rate or lane count.

BR,
Jani.
