Original test case 4.2.2.1 always passed until we did firmware upgrade 
of our compliance test tester (Unigraph) recently.

The new firmware of tester use newer edid contains 1080p with 145.7 mhz 
which can not be supported by 2 lanes with 1.6G rate. Hence we failed 
this test case.

After discuss with Vendor, they claims we have to return fail-safe mode 
if prefer detailed timing mode can not be supported.

I think would be good to add fail-safe mode into connector mode list.
