drm_dp_channel_eq_ok() does not check for CR. Should we just say
"Channel EQ not ok" to preempt ambiguity while debugging ?

The caller does not expect us to link train anymore, I don't think we
have to explicitly state "no need to retrain". Also, do we need debug
messages if the link is good?

I might be completely off base here. Shouldn't we keep the link valid
irrespective of whether there is an active crtc? I thought that is what
the refactoring is supposed to enable. Does intel_dp_short_pulse() get
called when there is a link loss during upfront link training? And in
that case, shouldn't we retrain even without a crtc? 

Besides that, how about using just one return?

struct drm_crtc *crtc = intel_encoder->base.crtc;

if (crtc == NULL || !to_intel_crtc(crtc)->active)
	return true;
