No, we actually hit an issue. This issue was originally reported as a 
link training issue while bringing up DP on x1e80100.

While debugging that we noticed that we should not have even proceeded 
to link training because the PLL was not getting locked and it was 
failing silently since there are no other error prints (and hence the 
second part of the patch to improve the error logs), and we do not 
return any error code from this driver, we could not catch the PLL 
unlocked issue.

Yes, this is a good point. We should also post the patch to add the 
error checking in DP driver to fail if phy_power_on fails.
