Alas, intel_crtc_mode_fixup is called *after* the intel_dp_mode_fixup. So,
we'd either need to change drm_crtc_helper, or have
intel_crtc_mode_fixup call down into intel_dp.c to set the link
parameters. In either case, ick.

Right, the problem is that the DP link parameters will be set to support
24bpp color, so we'll use a higher clock/lane-count than strictly
necessary as intel_dp_mode_fixup doesn't take the frame buffer format
into consideration when computing the link values.

Thanks. I'm not happy with it either.

In short, I think we can (and should) apply the simple first patch to
drm-intel-fixes so that at least displays work consistently, and then
come up with a nicer patch that computes correct link parameters, and
also supports 10bpc formats.
