The spec is perhaps a bit unclear on this. 

"If the message is sent as a path request, all DP nodes from the source
 immediate downstream device and the targeted DP node will be placed in
 the D0 power state."

Doesn't quite tell me whether the immediate downstream device is
included in that list of nodes.

However the spec goes on to say
"Each nodes immediate upstream device will use Native AUX writes to the
 SET_POWER & SET_DP_PWR_VOLTAGE register (DPCD Address 00600h) to set
 the power state of the downstream node."

and since we are the immediate upstream for that device I guess it makes
sense that we should still do the DP_SET_POWER manually.

But I have to wonder what the original issue was before we started to use
POWER_UP/DOWN_PHY. I suppose somehow some further downstream device
wasn't in D0 when we needed it. But that is a bit weird as I believe all
devices should really start up in D0.

Anyways based on my reading of the spec I can justify this so

I presume we want cc:stable + fixes: on this?
