If the current eDP link settings, as read from hw, provide a higher bandwidth than the verified_link_cap ones (= reported_link_cap), then override verified_link_cap with current settings.
These initial current eDP link settings have been set up by firmware during boot, so they should work on the eDP panel. Therefore use them if the firmware thinks they are good and they provide higher link bandwidth, e.g., to enable higher resolutions / color depths.
This fixes a problem found on the MacBookPro 2017 Retina panel:
The panel reports 10 bpc color depth in its EDID, and the firmware chooses link settings at boot which support enough bandwidth for 10 bpc (324000 kbit/sec aka LINK_RATE_RBR2), but the DP_MAX_LINK_RATE dpcd register only reports 2.7 Gbps as possible, so verified_link_cap is only good for 2.7 Gbps and 8 bpc, not providing the full color depth of the panel.
