To address previous feedback, I'll quote below and answer.

Done. For reference, in the Displayport Link CTS spec, tests 4.2.2.4 and
4.2.2.5 are the ones that use these, specifically.

There are no compliance tests that are concerned with the number of
native DEFERs or NACKs received, hence why they are not addressed here.
There's no requirement for the size of this value and I selected uint8_t
as the smallest reasonable size for it. It's only used to count the
number of NACKs and DEFERs during compliance testing and it gets reset
to 0 at the beginning of the test block where it's used in a later
patch. It's unlikely that a case would occur during this compliance test
where exactly 256 NACKs or DEFERs occur, but your point is well-taken.
I'll make them uint32s and be done with it. I don't think 6 extra bytes
is going to run the kernel out of memory. :)

>Also, why don't we need to count the native NACKs and DEFERs?

There are no compliance tests that are concerned with the number of
native DEFERs or NACKs received.

New patch will be here shortly.
