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.
