DisplayPort specifications are fun. For a while, it's been really unclear to us what available_pbn actually does. There's a somewhat vague explanation in the DisplayPort spec (starting from 1.2) that partially explains it: The minimum payload bandwidth number supported by the path. Each node updates this number with its available payload bandwidth number if its payload bandwidth number is less than that in the Message Transaction reply. So, it sounds like available_pbn represents the smallest link rate in use between the source and the branch device. Cool, so full_pbn is just the highest possible PBN that the branch device supports right? Well, we assumed that for quite a while until Sean Paul noticed that on some MST hubs, available_pbn will actually get set to 0 whenever there's any active payloads on the respective branch device. This caused quite a bit of confusion since clearing the payload ID table would end up fixing the available_pbn value. So, we just went with that until commit |

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.
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.
