Yes that is true. Passing common_rates worked earlier to see if the link
rate was within the bounds and still less than the lowered fallback link rate
becuase we were changing the common_rates.

But now with this new series, you are right that we cannot use common_rates array
because it is still the intersection of just sink and source rates and wont
take into account the lowered fallback rate unless we pass the length of common
rates array limited by the max link rate by calling intel_dp_common_len_rate_limit()
or we could just check that it is greater than 0 and less than the max_link_rate.

Does that sound right to you?

I will update this logic and send a new revision.
