Nope. That's just not what the figure has.

I said this should be put *above* intel_dp_get_adjust_train(), and you
agreed. There was even a patch to that effect, and that's what I thought
we were going by.

It's both logical and per spec to keep the TX FFE PRESET read and write
together, and AUX RD INTERVAL read *before* them.

Where does the spec say, "read AUX_RD_INTERVAL just before writing the
new FFE presets"? I don't think it does.

The box in figure 3-52 has:

- Read AUX_RD_INTERVAL value

- Adjust the TX_FFE_PRESET_VALUE setting as requested by a
  DPRX/LTTPR_UFP

The "as requested by" part involves reading TX FFE PRESET to know what
the DPRX requested.

I don't see anything wrong in the original comment, just the placement
of the read.

There have been a multitude of different patches with random version
numbers with no changelog and I don't even know what I'm supposed to be
reviewing anymore.

BR,
Jani.
