Hi Harry, happy new year!

This only works when taking over from UEFI, so on boot or resume from

See the other thread i just cc'ed you on. Depends if
dc_link_detect_helper() gets skipped/early returns or not on EDP. Some if
statement suggests it might get skipped on EDP + resume?

Tried that already (see other mail), replacing the whole if statement with
a if (true) to force reading DP_SUPPORTED_LINK_RATES. The whole table reads
back as all-zero, and versions are DP 1.1, eDP 1.3, not 1.4+ as what seems
to be required. The use the classic link bw stuff, but with a non-standard
link bandwidth multiplier of 0xc, and a reported DP_MAX_LINK_RATE of 0xa,
contradicting the 0xc setting that the firmware sets at bootup.

Seems to be a very Apple thing...
