On these Barebones PSR 2 is recognized as supported but is very buggy:
- Upper third of screen does sometimes not updated, resulting in
disappearing cursors or ghosts of already closed Windows saying behind.
- Approximately 40 px from the bottom edge a 3 pixel wide strip of randomly
colored pixels is flickering.

PSR 1 is working fine however.

This patchset introduces a new quirk to disable PSR 2 specifically on known
buggy devices and applies it to the Tongfang PHxTxX1 and PHxTQx1 barebones.

Parralel to this there is a patch fixing the root cause of this issue: 
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/7347#note_1785094

So this quirk might only be relevant for stable kernels, depending on when that 
other patch gets merged.

I've been thinking something similar as there is still at least one
issue which seems to be like panel side issue:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/7836

Did you considered dpcd_quirk_list in drivers/gpu/drm/drm_dp_helper.c?

I'm not sure which one is more correct though...

Imho, since the proper fix lies within the Intel driver the quirk should also 
lie within the Intel driver, because even if the panel has the same problem 
combined with an AMD or NVIDIA card the proper fix for them will most likely be 
land in the same kernel version. So there could be a period where you no longer 
want the quirk for devices combining the panel with an Intel gpu but still with 
an AMD GPU or vice versa.

*the proper fix for them will most likely not be in the same kernel version.

Yeah, you are right here. Let's target fixing rootcause for your setup.
First patch from your set could be anyways used for issue mentioned
above.
