Pre-emphasis level 3 is the maximum pre-emphasis level that the source supports.

This interpretation fails Link Layer compliance test 400.3.1.15 step 17 according to the following Fail condition: TRAINING_LANEx_SET.MAX_PRE-EMPHASIS_REACHED = 1 (check all active lanes) and the Source DUT supports pre-emphasis level 3 (9.5db).

As per the Bspec Voltage swing programming section, the above code makes sense
where the max pre emphasis if vswing level is 0 is 3, max pre emphasis if vswing level 1 is 2
and so on..

So then are you suggesting modifying the entire logic for intel_get_adjust_train() in case we want
to always set the max_pre_emphasis to say 3 and max vswing to 3 and then adjust to the requested values
as long as the combination is as per the above table (as per the bspec)
