I'm assuming the most important parts are:

[drm:intel_hdmi_dp_dual_mode_detect] DP dual mode adaptor (type 1 HDMI) detected (max TMDS clock: 165000 kHz, TMDS OE# control: no)
[drm:intel_hdmi_compute_config] picking bpc to 8 for HDMI output

For the record, I'd call my adapter a «cable» and not a «dongle». I had
thought it was completely passive; if there's any active circuitry
inside it it must be really tiny - it'd have to fit inside the rather
standard-sized HDMI/DP connectors in the ends.
