The description makes it sound like the link status is not updated,
sometimes. Isn't that the real issue here? Not that link training needs
to be done again (which it always does apparently), but that disabling
the display doesn't wait for the link to go down. Or disabling the link
is causing some sort of glitch on the sink causing it to report the
status as OK when it really isn't.

Does this assume eDP has one resolution? I don't understand why eDP is
special here, especially if eDP has more than one resolution available
it seems like we would want to retrain the link regardless.
