<pre>The problem is that we may end up using 1.62 link rate for one DP port, and 2.7
for the other DP port, leaving no free DPLLs for the non-DP port.
Fixing this requires that we'd consider the failure to find a DPLL as a reason
to retry in the bw_constrained mode (or some similar mode) and made the DP link
rate selection try to pick a common rate for all ports.
I have a branch [1] that cleans up some of the retry logic to better deal with
FDI bifurcation (another common reason for failed 3 pipe configuration on IVB),
but it doesn't deal with this DPLL issue. IIRC one problem is that we do the
DPLL computation way too late to retry easily. I think we'd have to move it a
bit, which would also allow us to use the accurate clock in various check
functions. And then we'd need to adjust the DP compute_config logic to pick a
common rate somehow (just go for the max?). Anyways, I think my bifurcation
branch might be a decent first step in making the retry logic nicer.
