So the problem we still have with link rate fallback after link failure->uevent->
fetch new modes->link retrain is that after we send a uevent, userspace fetches new modes
which calls drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes() that calls dp_detect which ends up
calling intel_dp_long_pulse(). So while userspace is just trying to fetch new modes
it overwrites the max_link_rate and max_lane_count values through intel_dp_long_pulse().
So while retraining, when it calls intel_dp_compute_config(), it will use the overwritten
values of common_rates/max_link_rate/max_lane_count as opposed to the ones
set in intel_dp_get_fallback_values(). 
I wonder if this patch series solves this problem somehow...
else, do you have any insight on how we can solve this?
