Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915/dp: Use slow and wide link training for DPCP rev < 1.4

Screen flickers on Innolux panel when clock rate 540000 is in use.

According to the panel vendor, though clock rate 540000 is advertised,
but the max clock rate it really supports is 270000.

So use slow and wide training for panels with DPCP rev < 1.4 to resolve
the issue. User also confirmed the new strategy doesn't introduce
regression on XPS 9380.
