> link-status goes BAD
> 
> From: Martin Peres <martin.peres at linux.intel.com>
> 
> Despite all the careful planning of the kernel, a link may become
> insufficient to handle the currently-set mode. At this point, the
> kernel should mark this particular configuration as being broken
> and potentially prune the mode before setting the offending connector's
> link-status to BAD and send the userspace a hotplug event. This may
> happen right after a modeset or later on.
> 
> Upon receiving a hot-plug event, we iterate through the connectors to
> re-apply the currently-set mode on all the connectors that have a
> link-status property set to BAD. The kernel may be able to get the
> link to work by dropping to using a lower link bpp (with the same
> display bpp). However, the modeset may fail if the kernel has pruned
> the mode, so to make users aware of this problem a warning is outputed
> in the logs to warn about having a potentially-black display.
> 
> This patch does not modify the current behaviour of always propagating
> the events to the randr clients. This allows desktop environments to
> re-probe the connectors and select a new resolution based on the new
> (currated) mode list if a mode disapeared. This behaviour is expected in
> order to pass the Display Port compliance tests.
