USB Type-C MFDP connection on WD19 Series and WD22TB4 docks

Cause

Parade PS8469 has a limitation on 8 and 10 bits of interalignment feature, which sends the wrong FEC protocol to the monitor which causes the issue to occur.

Resolution

Use either full-size DP1.4 port connection for monitors that are using MST. Also, when connecting DSC monitors with MST capability to the USB Type-C MFDP disables MST in the monitor on-screen display (OSD) menu options.

Disabling MST in the monitor OSD menu
