Title:
[i915] Dual DP 4K @60Hz requires toggling to 30Hz and back to 60Hz

Bug description:
I recently started using a Cable-Matters-201355 with my XPS 9380 (8th
Gen TB3). The dock supports dual 4K DP @ 60Hz via thunderbolt with PD
input. (HBR3 compliant USB-C Dock (DSC/DP1.4 support) that uses all 4
high speed lanes to get dual 60Hz)

Both displays boot mirrored when powered up (Dell Logo, Grub, Kernel
output) however go blank just as wayland starts up.

Unplugging one of them allows the other to appear at 3840x2160@60Hz,
after which I have to execute the following process to get both up and
running.

1) Change the refresh rate of the active display to 30Hz, apply in Screen Display settings dialog
2) Plug the 2nd monitor in; At this point both appear in Screen Display dialog @60Hz, but the 2nd remains blank
3) Change both to 30Hz, apply; At this point the 2nd screen turns on
4) Change both to 60Hz, apply; At this point both are working at 60Hz, my desired end state

Inspection of edid seems fine (below), other than the DisplaySize
showing 27" instead of 32". Monitors are identical.

Previously, I might be able to script my steps above using xrandr, but
that seems to no longer be the case with 21.10 and wayland. I seem to
be limited to the Screen Display dialog.

Since I can fix by simply re-applying the settings, it seems like a
bug on startup. If I could find a CLI option to allow me to script
this somehow, that workaround would be just fine for myself.

Lid open/closed, power via the 201344 or direct via other TB-PD port
has no impact.

Here's hoping for a bugfix in 22.04 or at least a way to script the
display configuration.
