[why] DP 1.4a spec mandates that if DP_EXTENDED_RECEIVER_CAP_FIELD_PRESENT is set, Extended Base Receiver Capability DPCD space must be used. Without doing that, the three DPCD values that differ will be wrong, leading to incorrect or limited functionality. MST link rate, for example, could have a lower value. Also, Synaptics quirk wouldn't work out well when Extended DPCD was not read, resulting in no DSC for such hubs. [how] Modify MST topology manager to use the values from Extended DPCD where applicable. To prevent regression on the sources that have a lower maximum link rate capability than MAX_LINK_RATE from Extended DPCD, have the drivers supply maximum lane count and rate at initialization time.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
