Hmm... could you share more about this :-)

I only find that drm_dp_link_probe() could get the panel link-rate and
num-lanes by reading the DP_DPCD_REV messag.

I don't found there are some guidance to help select the approriate one.
Beside this DT prop just indicate the max eDP controller link-rate & lanes
support, how could eDP detect them automatically?
