I'm really not sure what the impact might be other than a potential
power regression fix, and I presume a smart sink would save power when
we put the main link down. The DP spec is a bit light on this. For eDP
we cut the power anyway, so perhaps the impact is on external displays
only, and people might not even pay so much attention to their power
consumption.

I guess I could have put that in the commit message too, but oh well.


BR,
Jani.
