Not sure which one you want to removed exactly. I presume there
are still at least these cases we need to handle:
- long HDP dropped and came back without any userspace
initiated modeset in between
-> kick off a retrain from the long HPD handler
- short HPD indicated some link badness
-> kick off a retrain from the short HDP handler
- link dropped on its own soon after modeset without
any HPD for some reason
-> kick off a retrain from the post modeset link check
And the one we should remove:
- something weird happened to the link and no one noticed,
and for some random reason userspace just happens to do
a getconnector() which ends up randomly fixing things
Did I miss anything else?
