It's still a mess. My opinion is still that we should move the hacks from
read_wake into a more suitable place:
a) either into drm_dp_dpcd_read in drm_dp_helper.c
b) or into intel_dp_aux_transfer in intel_dp.c

Option a) is the right one if this is a generic sink issue (and it seems
to be the case, at least for edp panels). Option b) if it's an issue with
our hw. Either way I think intel_dp_dpcd_read_wake should die.

On a personal gut level I'd go with option a).

Cheers, Daniel
