Hmm. I guess we're violating the DP spec a bit with the current
sequence:
"The Source device shall start sending the idle pattern after it has
 cleared the Training_Pattern byte in the DPCD"

Currently we start sending the idle pattern way earlier. And even
on platform where we don't send the idle pattern [1] we are disabling
the training pattern before we do the corresponding DPCD write.

So we may want to change the order to follow the spec.

[1] I guess the hw must send a few idle patterns automagically
    since IIRC the spec requires it?
