I haven't merged this patch yet because I'd like an Ack from Jani.

Also I'd like to hear from Mika if he believes it is safe or not.

On his revert commit he wrote:
"It has been found out that in some HW combination the DisplayPort
 fast link training feature caused screen flickering. Let's revert
 this feature for now until we can ensure that the feature works for
 all platforms."

I don't want to merge this patch to fix a feature that is disabled
by default with the risk of bringing flickerings back.

But even if we decide to go ahead and merge I believe we need to
resend the test and collect a full round of CI that now runs
all IGT tests.

Thanks,
Rodrigo.
