Furthermore you should end up in this code path *only* if you have a DP
branch device. This shouldn't happen for eDP or native DP
displays. Please confirm what kind of setup you're experiencing issues
with.

Frankly I wouldn't be surpised if we do have issues with branch devices,
but this is not the fix.
