Ok, thanks for this, now the spec is closer to the proposed changes. On
some platforms it's still unclear if the default max rate in the lack of
a VBT limit is HBR2 or HBR3. The ADL-S overview at Bspec/53597 is clear
now wrt. this:

(*) "May require retimer on motherboard. The OEM must use VBT to limit the link rate
    to HBR2 if HBR3 not supported by motherboard."

ideally it should still clarify if the potential retimer requirement applies to
both eDP and DP or only to DP.

I still see the followings to adjust in the spec so that it reflects
the patch:

- ICL
  - bspec/20584:
    "Increased IO voltage may be required to support HBR3 for the highest DisplayPort
     and eDP resolutions."

     should be changed to (*) above mentioning that HBR3 is only supported on
     eDP.

  - bspec/20598:
    "Combo HBR3: OEM must use VBT to specify a miximum that is tolerated by the
    board design."

    The DP/HBR3 support on ICL should be removed.

    For eDP/HBR3 on ICL the above comment should be changed to (*).

- JSL
  - bspec/32247:
    "Increased IO voltage may be required to support HBR3 for the highest DisplayPort
     resolutions."

    should be removed/changed to (*).

  - bspec/20598:
    "OEM must use VBT to specify a miximum that is tolerated by the
    board design."

    should be changed to (*).

- TGL:
  - bspec/49201:
    "Combo HBR3: OEM must use VBT to specify a miximum that is tolerated
    by the board design."

    The DP/HBR3 support should be removed, for eDP/HBR3 the above should
    be changed to (*).

- RKL:
  - bspec/49201, 49204:
    Remove the RKL tag, since there is a separate page for RKL.

  - bspec/49202:
    "Combo HBR3: Only supported on SKUs with higher I/O voltage"

    should be changed to (*).

- ADLS:
  - bspec/49201, 49204:
    The ADLS tag should be removed, since there is a separate page for ADLS.

  - bspec/53720:
    "Combo HBR3: OEM must use VBT to specify a miximum that is tolerated by the
    board design."

    should be changed to (*).

- DG1:
  - bspec/49205:
    "Combo HBR3: Only supported on SKUs with higher I/O voltage"

    should be changed to (*) above.

- DG2:
  - bspec/53657:
    For Combo HBR3 (*) should be added.

  - bspec/54034:
    For Combo HBR3 (*) should be added.

- ADLP:
  - bspec/49185:
    "Combo DP/HBR3: OEM must use VBT to specify a miximum that is tolerated by
    the board design. An external re-timer may be needed."

    should be changed to (*).


Also could you add a debug print with the voltage configuration of combo
PHYs somewhere in intel_combo_phy.c?
