Bug Description

Impact: Some new laptops with 4k screens are starting to use dp 1.2 only feature of supporting 5.4ghz link rates over displayport which was not turned on until 3.15 even though the plumbing for it was (mostly) there. This should only make more devices work since it has to advertise support for the feature in the dpcd. previously dp 1.2 screens which needed 5.4ghz link rates were forced to use 2.7ghz instead, which would not provide enough bandwidth for some high resolution/high bandwidth screens. It only affects haswell for trusty, broadwell is handled through i915_bdw module which already as this fix and the fix was upstream in 3.15-rc1 so utopic is unaffected.

Fix: Allow the 5.4ghz link rate over displayport.

This has been tested on an affected OEM laptop with a 4K display that requires 5.4ghz link rate to light up (without it the display never turns on) as well as 2 other haswell machines to be sure it doesn't regress.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-trusty' to 'verification-done-trusty'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
