I've just read Sonika's patch again to see if I could convince myself
to stop being stubborn...

I realized that our patches are independent. I still believe we need
this one here... We just need a reviewer.

But I'm really a stubborn and I'm not convinced we need the other
patch. I still can't see how we would end up enabling DDI-A without
setting the lanes. For me if we don't call intel_ddi_init(port_A) we
don't need to set lanes or there is something else really wrong, and if
we call it this bit will be *always* set already.
