In this patch serious?

This patch serious fix this FIFO error issue, it change link training algorithm first then fix wrong FIFO error status.

The link training process start after video status is stable, and when video FIFO error occurs,
video stable status will also lost, link training will reset to idle and wait until video stable again.

IT6505 HW auto training will process link training automatically, which include CR/EQ DPCD setting, link status check,
and try lower link rate is the 2.7G cannot pass training.

In some case, DP connect to a DP sink device which cannot pass IT6505 HW auto training. 
when link auto training fail on 2.7G and IT6505 HW change link rate to 1.65G and retry training automatically,
at this time video FIFO error will occur because of the link rate change(chip issue), the video signal from SOC is not lost actually.
