Hi Andy,

Yes, there are TBT3 cables which advertise DPSID but does not provide any DP capabilities in the DP discover mode VDO but does support UHBR.
In that case, need to use TBTSID and use capabilities from TBT discover mode VDO.

In v2 version of this patch I had them but there was feedback to remove extra variables and use them inline.
