Considering the velocity of drm-tip, I think any CI results for patches
have a rather limited best before date. The patch should've been resent
and gone through testing again before merging.

It's possible (I didn't check the logs) this pertains to the failure
mode I've sometimes seen, where clock recovery fails, but as we continue
with channel equalization anyway (without this patch), everything
succeeds there. At worst we need to root cause and fix that issue
first. :(
