I would rather call this argument as dp_link_rate since thats what we are passing
and not dp_link_bw.

This explains my comment above, we convert link rate to link_bw here so better
call that link_rate to begin with

This debug message seems a little misleading since we are saying that it failed
to train link or retrain at the same params and now we are retraining with fallback
values. Clarify this a bit more in this message like "MST link training failed
or retrain at same params failed"..?
