[Intel-gfx] Linux 3.16-rc1: drm:intel_dp_start_link_train *ERROR* too many full retries, give up

[Oliver Hartkopp]

Hello Daniel,

just to close my request:

The latest git pull from Linus' tree fixed my issue.

vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc2-00211-gd7933ab (26.6. 21:19) was bad
vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc2-00319-g3e7b256 (28.6. 09:23) works again

There are two pulls with 'drm-fixes' and 'x86/urgent' in this area.
Don't know what it was in detail - but it's fixed now (lightdm/xfce4 runs).

Thanks,
Oliver
