At least some DELL monitors (P2715Q) with DPCD_REV 1.2 return corrupted DPCD register values when reading from the 0xF0000- LTTPR range with an AUX transaction block size bigger than 1. The DP standard requires 0 to be returned - as for any other reserved/invalid addresses - but these monitors return the DPCD_REV register value repeated in each byte of the read buffer. This will in turn corrupt the values returned by the LTTPRs between the source and the monitor: LTTPRs must adjust the values they read from the downstream DPRX, for instance left-shift/init the downstream DP_PHY_REPEATER_CNT value. Since the value returned by the monitor's DPRX is non-zero the adjusted values will be corrupt.
Reading the LTTPR registers one-by-one instead of reading all of them with a single AUX transfer works around the issue.
According to the DP standard's 0xF0000 register description: "LTTPR-related registers at DPCD Addresses F0000h through F02FFh are valid only for DPCD r1.4 (or higher)." While it's unclear if DPCD r1.4 refers to the DPCD_REV or to the LT_TUNABLE_PHY_REPEATER_FIELD_DATA_STRUCTURE_REV register (tickets filed at the VESA site to clarify this haven't been addressed), one possibility is that it's a restriction due to non-compliant monitors described above. Disabling the non-transparent LTTPR mode for all such monitors is not a viable solution: the transparent LTTPR mode has its own issue causing link training failures and this would affect a lot of monitors in use with DPCD_REV < 1.4. Instead this patch works around the problem by reading the LTTPR common and PHY cap registers one-by-one for any monitor with a DPCD_REV < 1.4.
The standard requires the DPCD capabilites to be read after the LTTPR common capabilities are read, so re-read the DPCD capabilities after the LTTPR common and PHY caps were read out.

This sounds really scary. Have we checked what other registers might end up corrupted? Eg. couple of rounds of comparing full dd bs=1 vs. dd bs=16.
- int block_size = dpcd[DP_DPCD_REV] < 0x14 ? 1 : buf_size;
- int offset = 0;
- int ret;
- while (offset < buf_size) {
Can we use a for loop?
ret = drm_dp_dpcd_read(aux,
address + offset,
&buf[offset], block_size);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
WARN_ON(ret != block_size);
offset += block_size;
- }
- return 0;
