And you may get more than one and then this skips even though the test
passed. Looks like the patch is overcompensating. What you can do is
repeat the test a few times, and then look at all the different errors
you get. If the connector remains (no mst disappareance) once it goes
bad, it should remain bad and so not generate any new uevent. Or you
only repeat the test whilst link_status[old] != link_status[new].
