Well, we unfortunately have a bunch of dp link training issues left. But
currently I'm not aware of any patches that might help. The best way
forward is likely to file a bugzilla on bugs.freedesktop.org with all the
information you've already gathered (against DRI, DRM/Intel) so that this
won't get lost.
