[PATCH v8] drm/i915/edp: Be less aggressive about changing link config on eDP

This set of changes has some history to them. There were several attempts
to add what was called "fast link training" to i915, which actually wasn't
fast link training as per the DP spec. These changes were:

commit 5fa836a9d859 ("drm/i915: DP link training optimization")
commit 4e96c97742f4 ("drm/i915: eDP link training optimization")

which were eventually hand-reverted by:

commit 34511dce4b35 ("drm/i915: Revert DisplayPort fast link training
feature")

in kernel 4.7-rc4. The eDP pieces of the above revert, however, had some
very bad side-effects on PSR functionality on Skylake. The issue at
hand is that when PSR exits i915 briefly emits TP1 followed by TP2/3
(depending on the original link configuration) in order to quickly get
the source and sink back in synchronization across the link before handing
control back to the i915. There's an assumption that none of the link
configuration information has changed (and thus it's still valid) since the
last full link training operation. The revert above was identified via a
bisect as the cause of some of Skylake's PSR woes. This patch, largely
based on commit 4e96c97742f4 ("drm/i915: eDP link training optimization")
puts the eDP portions of this patch back in place. None of the flickering
issues that spurred the revert have been seen, and I suspect the real
culprits here were addressed by some of the recent link training changes
that Manasi has implemented, and PSR on Skylake is definitely more happy
with these changes in-place.

v2 and v3: Rebase
v4: * Clean up accesses to train_set_valid a bit for easier
reading. (Chris)
* Rebase
v5: * Checkpatch cleanup
* Rebase
v6: * is_edp() => intel_dp_is_edp()
* rebase
v7: * Remove extraneous is_edp() prototype (Rodrigo)
v8: Rebase
