This patch series attempts to add support for a DP-HDMI2.1 Protocol
Convertor. The VESA spec for the HDMI2.1 PCON are proposed in Errata
E5 to DisplayPort_v2.0:

The details are mentioned in DP to HDMI2.1 PCON Enum/Config

This RFC series starts with adding support for FRL (Fixed Rate Link)
Training between the PCON and HDMI2.1 sink.
As per HDMI2.1 specification, a new data-channel or lane is added in
FRL mode, by repurposing the TMDS clock Channel. Through FRL, higher
bit-rate can be supported, ie. up to 12 Gbps/lane (48 Gbps over 4
lanes).

With these patches, the HDMI2.1 PCON can be configured to achieve FRL
training based on the maximum FRL rate supported by the panel, source
and the PCON.
The approach is to add the support for FRL training between PCON and
HDMI2.1 sink and gradually add other blocks for supporting higher
resolutions and other HDMI2.1 features, that can be supported by pcon
for the sources that do not natively support HDMI2.1.

This is done before the DP Link training between the source and PCON
is started. In case of FRL training is not achieved, the PCON will
work in the regular TMDS mode, without HDMI2.1 feature support.
Any interruption in FRL training between the PCON and HDMI2.1 sink is
notified through IRQ_HPD. On receiving the IRQ_HPD the concerned DPCD
registers are read and FRL training is re-attempted.

Currently, we have tested the FRL training and are able to enable 4K
display with TGL Platform + Realtek PCON RTD2173 with HDMI2.1 supporting
panel.
