Please don't roll this into the patch that removes the limit. The
previous version of this patch was fine. The part that lowers the limit
back down should be another patch.

We rejected link-rate in DT before and we should reject it upstream
again. As far as I can tell, the maximum link rate should be determined
based on the panel or the type-c port on the board. The dp controller
can always achieve HBR3, so limiting it at the dp controller is
incorrect. The driver should query the endpoints to figure out if they
want to limit the link rate. Is that done automatically sometimes by
intercepting the DPCD?
