I'd prefer if this didn't take a dpcd argument but rather directly
accessed the DP_EDP_CONFIGURATION_CAP register so that it can be used
directly rather than rely on the driver to have read a dpcd block in the
appropriate format.

Does it make sense to have a function that checks for a specific
version? Why not add one that returns the revision so that it can be
compared, something like:

	u8 value;

	drm_dp_dpcd_read(aux, DP_EDP_REV, &value, 1);

	return value;

Then we can do something like:

	#define DP_EDP_REV_1_1 0x00
	#define DP_EDP_REV_1_2 0x01
	#define DP_EDP_REV_1_3 0x02
	#define DP_EDP_REV_1_4 0x03

And code can simply compare against that:

	drm_dp_get_edp_revision(aux, &rev);

	if (rev >= DP_EDP_REV_1_4) {
		...
	}

The check in your variant will only match v1.4 exactly, but presumably
v1.5 will be backwards compatible. Having a direct check on the revision
code will allow code to continue to work with future, backwards-
compatible revisions.

This seems to be a field in the DP_EDP_CONFIGURATION_CAP register, so it
should be sorted below that register, not DP_TRAINING_AUX_RD_INTERVAL.

And this belongs further down, so it properly sorts into the list of
registers.
