[PATCH 00/10] extract dp helper functions

Hi all,

I've frustrated myself the last few days yelling at our link training code.
Comparing the i915 code to radeon and nouveau I've noticed the lack of a nice
set of dp helper functions. So I've started to extract a few.

There's lots more that we can do I think (link configuration selection, the i2c
over aux retry stuff which diverges already between i915 and radeon, maybe more
higher level parts of the training sequence). But there the drivers diverge
quite a bit (e.g. the link configuration is driver by different things in each
driver: coded link bw from the dp spec, link clock or required bw vs avialable
bw), so that's more work and probably best done when reworking these functions
for other reasons.

I've also tried to put the new helpers a bit to use in nouveau, but due to lack
of hw that part is untested.

Comments and testing highly welcome.

Yours, Daniel

  drm/nouveau: use the cr_ok/chanel_eq_ok helpers
  drm: extract helpers to compute new training values from sink request
  drm/nouveau: use dp link train request helper
  drm: extract dp link train delay functions from radeon
  drm/i915: use the new dp train delay helpers
  drm: extract dp link bw helpers
  drm: extract drm_dp_max_lane_count helper
