Yes, we have parsed the DPCD but we dont write to intel_dp->link-rate and 
intel_dp->lane_count
until we do a modeset (these get written during pre_enable) and these values 
get used
during the retraining of the link. So at this point we will still use stale 
values.
Shouldnt we set the link status to BAD and send a hotplug event, like the 
solution we implemneted
for retraining?
