We've opted to use the maximum link rate and lane count for eDP panels, because typically the maximum supported configuration reported by the panel has matched the native resolution requirements of the panel, and optimizing the link has lead to problems. With eDP 1.4 rate select method and DSC features, this is decreasingly the case. There's a need to optimize the link parameters. Moreover, already eDP 1.3 states fast link with fewer lanes is preferred over the wide and slow. (Wide and slow should still be more reliable for longer cable lengths.) Additionally, there have been reports of panels failing on arbitrary link configurations, although arguably all configurations they claim to support should work. Optimize eDP 1.4+ link config fast and narrow. Side note: The implementation has a near duplicate of the link config function, with just the two inner for loops turned inside out. Perhaps there'd be a way to make this, say, more table driven to reduce the duplication, but seems like that would lead to duplication in the table generation. We'll also have to see how the link config optimization for DSC turns out.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
