Ok, looking at previous debug output logs shows that those extended caps are not present on the systems, ie. that extended caps bit is not set. So dpcd[0x1] == 0xa.
 
Yeah, but you never know how creative they've been with the DPCD in
such a propritary machine. A full DPCD dump from /dev/drm_dp_aux* would
be nice. Can you file a bug an attach the DPCD dump there so we have a
good reference on what we're talking about (also for future if/when
someone eventually starts to wonder why we have such hacks in the
code)?


True, it's Apple which likes to "Think different..." :/

Will do. But is there a proper/better way to do the /dev/drm_dp_aux0 dump? I used cat /dev/drm_dp_aux0 > dump, and that hangs, but if i interrupt it after a few seconds, i get a dump file of 512k size, which seems excessive? On AMD DC atm., in case that matters.

However, the file shows DPCD_REV 1.1, maximum 0xa and no extended caps (DP_TRAINING_AUX_RD_INTERVAL aka [0xe] == 0x00).
