Subject: [PATCH RESEND] drm/display: Don't assume dual mode adaptors support
 i2c sub-addressing

Current dual mode adaptor ("DP++") detection code assumes that all adaptors
support i2c sub-addressing for read operations from the DP-HDMI adaptor ID
buffer.  It has been observed that multiple adaptors do not in fact
support this, and always return data starting at register 0.  On
affected adaptors, the code failed to read the proper registers that
would identify the device as a type 2 adaptor, and handled those as
type 1, limiting the TMDS clock to 165MHz.
Fix this by always reading the ID buffer starting from offset 0, and
discarding any bytes before the actual offset of interest.

(Resend because of no response, probably my fault since I ran
get_maintainers on a shallow clone and missed a bunch of people)

We had problems with multiple different "4k ready" DP++ adaptors only
resulting in 1080p resolution on Linux. While one of them turned out to
actually just be a type1 adaptor, the others, according to the data
retreived via i2cdump, were in fact proper type2 adaptors, advertising a
TMDS clock of 300MHz. As it turned out, none of them supported
sub-addressing when reading from the DP-HDMI adaptor ID buffer via i2c.
The existing code suggested that this is known to happen with "broken"
type1 adaptors, but evidently, type2 adaptors are also affected.
We tried finding authoritative documentation on whether or not this is
allowed behavior, but since all the official VESA docs are paywalled,
the best we could come up with was the spec sheet for Texas Instruments'
SNx5DP149 chip family.[1] It explicitly mentions that sub-adressing is
supported for register writes, but *not* for reads (See NOTE in
section 8.5.3). Unless TI blatantly and openly decided to violate the
VESA spec, one could take that as a strong hint that sub-addressing is
in fact not mandated by VESA.
