Allow supported link rate to be limited to the value specified at
dtsi. If it is not specified, then link rate is derived from dpcd
directly. Below are examples,
link-rate = <162000> for max link rate limited at 1.62G
link-rate = <270000> for max link rate limited at 2.7G
link-rate = <540000> for max link rate limited at 5.4G
link-rate = <810000> for max link rate limited at 8.1G

Changes in V2:
-- allow supported max link rate specified from dtsi

Please don't roll this into the patch that removes the limit. The
previous version of this patch was fine. The part that lowers the limit
back down should be another patch.

We rejected link-rate in DT before and we should reject it upstream
again. As far as I can tell, the maximum link rate should be determined
based on the panel or the type-c port on the board. The dp controller
can always achieve HBR3, so limiting it at the dp controller is
incorrect. The driver should query the endpoints to figure out if they
want to limit the link rate. Is that done automatically sometimes by
intercepting the DPCD?

ok, i will roll back to original patch and add the second patch for max link rate limited purpose.
panel dpcd specified max link rate it supported.
At driver, link rate is derived from dpcd directly since driver will try to use the maximum supported link rate and less lane to save power.
Therefore it is not possible that limit link rate base on dpcd.
AS i understand we are going to do max link rate limitation is due to old redriver chip can not support HBR3. How can I acquire which type-c port on the board so that I can trigger max link rate limitation?
