Display cluster HAS says they're supported. And since the spreadsheet
has them all in green I assume someone actually figured that they ought
to work.

Well if no one has tested them I guess we shouldn't try to use them. Not
a big loss in any case I suppose.

So based on that reasoning I can give an ack for this patch:

Hmm. Display Cluster HAS listed it as a stretch goal for early steppings. Apart
from that there isn't much else to go by. Excepth the training pattern 3
support, but now that I look again the new bit for that has disappeared
from the DP register in the spec. Or maybe I was looking at the k0 spec
when I added it. It's still in the k0 spec but as you say that's been
nuked.

In light of this, I think dropping HBR2 is reasonable. HBR is anyway
enough for 4k at 30 with 4 lanes, so it's not like we really need HBR2.

And could you also cook up a patch to kill the training pattern 3
support for CHV? Should be mostly a revert of my original patch that
added it, but you probably need to adjust the use_tps3 condition a bit
too.
