Thanks. Pushed to drm-intel-next.

I did a quick scan of a few CI logs and noticed that at least cml-u2
changed behaviour:
- [CONNECTOR:95:eDP-1] Link Training passed at link rate = 432000, lane count = 1, at DPRX
+ [CONNECTOR:95:eDP-1] Link Training passed at link rate = 216000, lane count = 2, at DPRX

But it still appears to work, and 2.16Gbps is also the link rate chosen
by the BIOS, which is reassuring.
