Hi,

> drm/i915: Disable FLT if DP config changes

Please just spell out fast link training.

I think there is a more fundamental problem with our fast link training
implementation. The requirements imposed by the spec for it are:

  - HPD line was high the whole time since the link was in full operation
(except for IRQ_HPD);

  - the NO_AUX_TRANSACTION_LINK_TRAINING bit is set in DP_MAX_DOWNSPREAD.

If both those conditions are met, then link training can skip the AUX
transactions and start with the last known good voltage swing and pre-emphasis.

Ville has seen an issue with a dongle that causes a lot of DPCD defers when link
training starts with non-zero values [1]. I wonder if we should disable fast lin
k training completely until we can meet those requirements.
