Hi Arnd Bergmann,

This problem was fixed. So, this patch is not necessary.

As you mentioned, this problem was introduced by d5c0eed01
"video: exynos_dp: adjust voltage swing and pre-emphasis
during Link Training".

However, this problem was resolved by e75478b "video: exynos_dp:
replace link_status with link_align to check channel equalization".

The patch was merged to 'fbdev-next', and will be merged to
'3.7-rc1', soon. Thank you.

Best regards,
Jingoo Han
