Re: [PATCH v4 6/6] drm/i915/dp_link_training: Emit a link-status=Bad uevent with trigger property

Thanks Gil for completing the logic here by emitting link status = BAD
even for final link failure state.

Fix the typo above for link-status

I think we need to add more explanation in the commit message as to
current problem of no link status = BAD for final failure wrongly reflects link
is good in userspace even when there could have been a failure and black screen.

But that this patch in conjunction with proper handling in userspace fixes it.

Also here we should mention that this patch also now uses:
drm_sysfs_connector_property_event
instead of the earlier generic drm_kms_helper_connector_hotplug_event.

This will need some changes in other userspaces that parse this else it will
cause failures for other userspace once this lands.

With all the above changes,
