Once we find this, we will have to traverse from that index below to get the next fallback link rate and lane count. The second loop is now to traverse from this index to see the supported link rate and lane count.

Then next loop is to traverse from this index 3 to find the fallback values. This would essentially be UHBR13P5 lane count 2. But MTL doesn' support this. Hence will have to move index by 1 to get UHBR10 lane count 2. This second loop will be used for this purpose.

Sudden loss of link -> try a blind retrain:

   This is rather sketchy as we don't go through the full modeset
   sequence. Probably should replace this by either just always
   punting to userspace, or by just doing a proper atomic commit with
   the current parameters from a work. I'm not sure all userspace/fb-helper
   handle everything correctly so might still want to keep this in kernel...

If link training fails then reduce link parms and punt to userspace:

   This could in theory also try a blind modeset in kernel first and
   if that fails then punt to userspace. Again the concern might be
   that not all userspace is perhaps very good, but I might be wrong
   about that.

Anyways all of that is kinda orthogonal stuff to just getting MST
to reduce its link rate. For that I think we should just need:
 a) remove the MST check from the fallback stuff
 b) handle all the MST connectors on the same link in the retry work
