[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/display: Don't rewrite link config when setting phy test pattern

[Khaled Almahallawy]

The sequence for Source DP PHY CTS automation is [2][1]:
1- Emulate successful Link Training(LT)
2- Short HPD and change link rates and number of lanes by LT.
(This is same flow for Link Layer CTS)
3- Short HPD and change PHY test pattern and swing/pre-emphasis
levels (This step should not trigger LT)

The problem is with DP PHY compliance setup as follow:

     [DPTX + on board LTTPR]------Main Link--->[Scope]
     	     	        ^                         |
			|                         |
			|                         |
			----------Aux Ch------>[Aux Emulator]

At step 3, before writing TRAINING_LANEx_SET/LINK_QUAL_PATTERN_SET
to declare the pattern/swing requested by scope, we write link
config in LINK_BW_SET/LANE_COUNT_SET on a port that has LTTPR.
As LTTPR snoops aux transaction, LINK_BW_SET/LANE_COUNT_SET writes
indicate a LT will start [Check DP 2.0 E11 -Sec 3.6.8.2 & 3.6.8.6.3],
and LTTPR will reset the link and stop sending DP signals to
DPTX/Scope causing the measurements to fail. Note that step 3 will
not trigger LT and DP link will never recovered by the
Aux Emulator/Scope.

The reset of link can be tested with a monitor connected to LTTPR
port simply by writing to LINK_BW_SET or LANE_COUNT_SET as follow

  igt/tools/dpcd_reg write --offset=0x100 --value 0x14 --device=2

OR

  printf '\x14' | sudo dd of=/dev/drm_dp_aux2 bs=1 count=1 conv=notrunc
  seek=$((0x100))

This single aux write causes the screen to blank, sending short HPD to
DPTX, setting LINK_STATUS_UPDATE = 1 in DPCD 0x204, and triggering LT.

As stated in [1]:
"Before any TX electrical testing can be performed, the link between a
DPTX and DPRX (in this case, a piece of test equipment), including all
LTTPRs within the path, shall be trained as defined in this Standard."

In addition, changing Phy pattern/Swing/Pre-emphasis (Step 3) uses the
same link rate and lane count applied on step 2, so no need to redo LT.

The fix is to not rewrite link config in step 3, and just writes
TRAINING_LANEx_SET and LINK_QUAL_PATTERN_SET
