confirmed that the compliance sink is not setting HPD bit during detect. 
so this looks to be a bug in
the sink tool. i'll file a bug with their team instead.

coming back to this patch, i will get back once i understand the complex 
scenario of all short pulse
is treated as long pulse post this change, for example: we will do full 
detection even if the sink requested
retraining of link.
