No the link training had failed.

Yes, root-cause was that the PLL registers were misconfigured in the 
x1e80100 DP PHY for HBR2. Once we programmed the correct values it 
worked. This was specific to x1e80100.

Yes, Doug mentioned this to me on IRC that this issue is still there. 
Surprising because I thought we had pushed 
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/551847/ long ago and it was 
fixed. It certainly did that time when I had tested this.
