Display Link for NPUs

So, am I right that now GPU and Drive does not refresh link data on each refresh? Cause GPU dynamically changes link speed every second or so, Going from PCIe 1.0 in idle to PCIe 4.0 when fully loaded. That's interesting info to keep seeing. For drives that's a bit less the case, but I would prefer to keep those dynamically updated. As long as the slot info is not updated every time I don't see a lot of issue with performance.

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. I'll revert that change then. :)

Ah great. :) And nice adding the NPU one! Love that we can just simply pass the PcieSlot and get our data.

Yeah, that's really neat!

Do you mind checking out the update-links branch to see if everything works correctly again?

@nokyan Looks good. I tested it and my videocard indeed now changes speeds. 👍
