Propagate errors back from FDI link training

Not an outright fix, but it should prevent us losing the pipe (by reverting the modeset).

The patch worked as intended. Seems like the mode recovery is missing. Daniel! :-p
Comment 7 Daniel Vetter 2013-11-18 17:47:43 UTC
Presuming fixed on latest kernel versions, please reopen if this is still broken. Thanks.
