Honestly, although it could be limited to PSR, I think it's beneficial
to leave it in place as it is.  For eDP, where panels generally only
support a small number of native modes, I think we end up doing a lot
of extra work by re-calculating all of the link information every
time.  Mika seems think it's pretty safe as well.
