SubjectRe: Potential Bug in drm/amd/display/dc_link
Hi Harry:
Thanks for your feedback, I will submit the patch for variable
"old_downspread" in the function enable_stream_features().
And I double checked the code in the mainline and found that the buggy
function wait_for_training_aux_rd_interval() has been removed, and the
corresponding bug has been fixed in v5.1-rc1 by a memset. Sorry for
the confusion.
