Despite all the careful planing 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.

When available, we should use the link-status information to reset
the wanted mode.

The relevant kernel patches have landed in drm-tip about a month ago.

Eric, would you mind providing feedback on or merging this patch?

Thanks,
Martin
