While I'm nitpicking documentation, I think this one needs work, too.
I'd prefer you just describe what the property conveys here instead of
getting into driver implementation specifics. So something like:
* link-status
* Connector link-status property to indicate the status of link. The
* default value is "GOOD". If something fails during, or after modeset,
* the driver may set this to "BAD" and issue a hotplug uevent. Drivers
* should update this value using
* drm_mode_connector_set_link_status_property()
