[PATCH 4/4] drm/i915: Implement Link Rate fallback on Link training failure

Hi Jani,

Could you please review this patch?
This patch was changed a bit from the last time you reviewed it
based on feedback from Sean Paul that the driver need not
validate the modes and prune the mode on link training failure.
Instead it should just send the hotplug uevent after setting link status
to BAD and then userspace driver should take care of validating the modes
again before modeset. So the i915_modeset_work_fn removed the calls to
intel_dp_mode_valid() and prune_mode_invalid().
There are no other functional changes in this patch from the previous
reviewed version.
Daniel has already ACKED this, but need your formal r-b.

Regards
Manasi
