I'd prefer something like:
* In usual working scenario, this link status property will always be set to
* "GOOD". If something fails during or after a mode set, the driver may
* set this property to "BAD". The caller then needs to send a hotplug uevent
* for userspace to re-check the valid modes through GET_CONNECTOR_IOCTL and
* retry modeset.
*
* Note: Drivers can not rely on userspace to support this property and
* issue a modeset. As such, they may choose to handle issues (like re-training
* a link) without userspace's intervention.
The difference being that we don't need to mention modes since that
will be handled through the normal avenue and we don't necessarily
want to remove any modes from the list.
