Commita3ef3c2da6("drm/dp: Change AUX DPCD probe address from DPCD_REV to LANE0_1_STATUS") stopped using the DPCD_REV register for DPCD probing, since this results in link training failures at least when using an Intel Barlow Ridge TBT hub at UHBR link rates (the DP_INTRA_HOP_AUX_REPLY_INDICATION never getting cleared after the failed link training). Since accessing DPCD_REV during link training is prohibited by the DP Standard, LANE0_1_STATUS (0x202) was used instead, as it falls within the Standard's valid register address range (0x102-0x106, 0x202-0x207, 0x200c-0x200f, 0x2216) and it fixed the link training on the above TBT hub. However, reading the LANE0_1_STATUS register also has a side-effect at least on a Novatek eDP panel, as reported on the Closes: link below, resulting in screen flickering on that panel. One clear side-effect when doing the 1-byte probe reads from LANE0_1_STATUS during link training before reading out the full 6 byte link status starting at the same address is that the panel will report the link training as completed with voltage swing 0. This is different from the normal, flicker-free scenario when no DPCD probing is done, the panel reporting the link training complete with voltage swing 2. Using the TRAINING_PATTERN_SET register for DPCD probing doesn't have the above side-effect, the panel will link train with voltage swing 2 as expected and it will stay flicker-free. This register is also in the above valid register range and is unlikely to have a side-effect as that of LANE0_1_STATUS: Reading LANE0_1_STATUS is part of the link training CR/EQ sequences and so it may cause a state change in the sink - even if inadvertently as I suspect in the case of the above Novatek panel. As opposed to this, reading TRAINING_PATTERN_SET is not part of the link training sequence (it must be only written once at the beginning of the CR/EQ sequences), so it's unlikely to cause any state change in the sink. As a side-note, this Novatek panel also lacks support for TPS3, while claiming support for HBR2, which violates the DP Standard (the Standard mandating TPS3 for HBR2). Besides the Novatek panel (PSR 1), which this change fixes, I also verified the change on a Samsung (PSR 1) and an Analogix (PSR 2) eDP panel as well as on the Intel Barlow Ridge TBT hub. Note that in the drm-tip tree (targeting the v6.17 kernel version) the i915 and xe drivers keep DPCD probing enabled only for the panel known to require this (HP ZR24w), hence those drivers in drm-tip are not affected by the above problem.

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 reStructuredText 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.
