I wonder if we should extract this into a helper and share with
mode_valid(). Then again, it's just a few lines so maybe not worth it.

This whole thing is getting a bit messy. I think it would worthwile to
rewrite this as something like:

intel_dp_update_link_train_fallback_values(intel_dp)
{
	int link_rate = intel_dp->link_rate;
	int lane_count = intel_dp->lane_count;

	if (intel_dp_get_link_train_fallback_values(intel_dp, &link_rate, &lane_count))
		return -1;

	if (is_edp() && !edp_can_link_train_thing(link_rate, lane_count)) {
		DRM_DEBUG_KMS("...");
		return 0;
	}

	intel_dp->max_link_rate = link_rate;
	intel_dp->max_link_lane_count = lane_count;

	return 0;
}

But that can be done later. With the missing const added this patch is
