We already train at max bandwidth for DP MST, which seems to be the
sensible thing to do.

I don't see a need to do this for DP SST.

That test does not require the source DUT to default to maximum lane
count or link rate of the sink. The source may freely choose the lane
count and link rate as long as they don't exceed sink capabilities.
For the purposes of the test, the test setup can request specific
parameters to be used, but that does not mean using maximum by
*default*.
We currently lack the feature to reduce lane count and link rate. The
key to understand here is that starting at max and reducing down to the
sufficient parameters for the mode (which is where we start now) offers
no real benefit for any use case. What we're lacking is a feature to
reduce the link parameters *below* what's required by the mode the
userspace wants. This can only be achieved through cooperation with
userspace.

Each patch must be a worthwhile change on its own. By my reading of this
patch, we can go under the required bandwidth. You can't justify that by
saying the follow-up patch fixes it.

I am still reading and gathering more feedback on the upfront link
training patch. I will get back to you. But the impression I'm currently
getting is that we can't do this. The upfront link training patch was
originally written for USB type C. But if DP compliance has priority,
the order of business should be getting compliance without upfront link
training. I am also still not convinced upfront link training is
required for compliance.
To be continued...
