Can you add "why"? I think the why is something like "link status is
different from display connected status in the case of something like an
Apple dongle where the type-c plug can be connected, and therefore the
link is connected, but no sink is connected until an HDMI cable is
plugged into the dongle". This still doesn't explain why it's important
to check at resume time though.

Can we get rid of these messages?

And this one? If it happens it will just sit in the logs when probably
the user can't do anything about it. Timeouts are just a fact of life.

Can we add a comment above this if? Otherwise it doesn't make much
sense why sink_count is important.
