drm/i915/dp: reduce link M/N parameters
Several major vendor USB-C->HDMI converters, in particular the DA200, fail to recover a 5.4 GHz 1 lane signal if the link N is greater than 0x80000. The link M and N depend on the pixel clock and link clock ratio. With current code link N exceeds 0x80000 only when link clock >= 540000 kHz. Except for the eDP intermediate link clocks, at least the four least significant bits are always zero. Just one bit shift right would be enough to bring even the DP 1.4 810000 kHz link clock under 0x80000 link N. The pixel clock for modes that require a link clock >= 540000 kHz would also have several least significant bits zero. Unless the user provides a mode with an odd pixel clock value, we can reduce the numbers to reach the goal, with no loss in precision. The DP spec even mentions sources making choices that "allow for static and relatively small Mvid and Nvid values", thus reducing the link M/N regardless of the sink in question seems justified. Everything here is based on the work and information gathered by Clint Taylor <clinton.a.taylor@intel.com>. This is just an iteration to reduce the parameters regardless of lane count, link rate, or sink.
