Please find attached dmesg output with drm.debug=0xe.

3.3.8 is the baseline, on which the display port monitor works fine.
3.4.2.cold is a cold boot into 3.4.2. The monitor on the display port 
remains blank. That is, it displays "No Signal Input" and then enters 
power saving mode.
3.4.2 is a reboot after running 3.3.8 first. Now the monitor attached to 
the display port works too.

The main difference between 3.4.2 and 3.4.2.cold seems to be that a warm 
boot reports "clock recovery OK", whereas a cold boot fails trying to 
train the link.

I did have a look at the (many) differences between 3.3.8 and 3.4.2, but 
I can't see anything that looks important. I will happily leave further 
interpretation to you.

I hope this will give someone an idea. In the mean while I will redo the 
bisect.

With kind regards,

Wouter
