How is resolution change different from disabling and enabling the
display? The commit text talks about resolution changes, but the code
doesn't compare resolutions from before and after to know when to
retrain the link. Can the code be made to actually do what the commit
text says? It would be clearer if the code looked for actual resolution
changes instead of hooking the dp_bridge_enable() function.

Does this even matter if it's true or false? The 'sink_request' has
DP_TEST_LINK_PHY_TEST_PATTERN set from what I can tell, and then
dp_ctrl_on_stream() bails out before calling dp_ctrl_link_retrain()
anyway. It would be nice if we could split dp_ctrl_on_stream() so that
the part after the check for the sink request is a different function
that is called by dp_display.c and then this code can call the 'prepare'
function that does the first part. Then we can ignore the testing path
in the code, and possibly remove the conditional in dp_ctrl_on_stream()?

I didn't see any answer to my question about why edp is special on v4.
Can you at least add a comment to the code about why edp doesn't need to
unconditionally retrain, but DP does?
