Yes makes sense to me too since we have a check for crtc->active so
it will retrain only if the link is already up and running with an active crtc
and intel_dp->lane_count is not 0.
In case of link failures though when we send the hotplug uevent it will get through
this path and it will try to retrain which we dont want since the retraining
should happen only in the atomic_commit at the fallback rate, not here.
So I guess on link failure, I can set intel_dp->lane_count to 0 to invalidate that
and avoid retraining here.
Right?
