As a result it never sets DDI_A_4_LANES, and intel_ddi_max_lanes() reads back a source maximum of two lanes for port A. intel_dp_max_common_lane_count() then takes min3(source_max = 2, sink_max = 4, ...) = 2, giving 2 x 2.7 Gbps x 8/10 = 4.32 Gbps of link bandwidth. The panel's native 2880x1800@60 8bpc mode needs 8.1 Gbps, so every mode is rejected with MODE_CLOCK_HIGH and the connector comes up with no usable modes at all -- the panel stays dark whenever i915 is made to drive it, which looks like a hardware limitation but is not. The lanes are physically there. Reading the panel's DPCD from the AMD side, where amdgpu drives it correctly, reports MAX_LANE_COUNT = 0x84, i.e. 4 lanes, and amdgpu's own link_settings shows it running the panel at 4 lanes / HBR. macOS likewise drives this panel from the iGPU at its native resolution, so all four lanes are routed through the gmux to DDI A. Only the register bit is unset. intel_ddi_a_force_4_lanes() already exists for exactly this situation -- its neighbouring comment notes that "Some BIOS might fail to set this bit on port A if eDP wasn't lit up at boot" -- but it only covers Broxton and Geminilake. Extend it with a DMI quirk so affected Macs get the correct lane count too. The DMI match is deliberately narrow. Other dual-GPU models in the same family are very likely affected identically, but they are untested, so widen the match only as reports come in. Tested on a MacBookPro11,5 (Broadwell, Iris Pro + Radeon R9 M370X): with the quirk, DDI A comes up as 4 lanes, link training passes at link rate 270000 / lane count 4, and i915 drives the internal panel at its native 2880x1800.
