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)?
