I think this driver should train the link during atomic_enable(), not
hpd_notify() (or directly from the irq handler). The drm_bridge_funcs
talk a bit about when the clocks and timing signals are supposed to be
enabled. For example, struct drm_bridge_funcs::atomic_pre_enable() says
the "display pipe (i.e.  clocks and timing signals) feeding this bridge
will not yet be running when this callback is called". And struct
drm_bridge_funcs::atomic_enable() says "this callback must enable the
display link feeding the next bridge in the chain if there is one."

That looks to me like link training, i.e. the display link, should
happen in the enable path and not hpd_notify. It looks like link
training could fail, but when that happens I believe the driver should
call drm_connector_set_link_status_property() with
DRM_MODE_LINK_STATUS_BAD. The two callers of that which exist in the
tree also call drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event() or
drm_kms_helper_connector_hotplug_event() after updating the link so that
userspace knows to try again.

It would be nice if there was some drm_bridge_set_link_status_bad() API
that bridge drivers could use to signal that the link status is bad and
call the hotplug helper. Maybe it could also record some diagnostics
about which bridge failed to setup the link and stop the atomic_enable()
chain for that connector.
