What seems the easiest to me is to set intel_dp->train_set_valid
to false right before the main clock recovery loop (but after calling
intel_dp_reset_link_train(), which is what uses the value) in
intel_dp_link_training_clock_recovery(), and remove the
sets to false for the failing cases.  If clock recovery is ok,
then we set it to true and return.  This makes it much easier
to sort out when we succeed by reading the code without changing
any of the existing functionality.  New patch coming as soon as I
get done testing it.
