commit 2681bc79eeb640562c932007bfebbbdc55bf6a7d upstream.
Turning off the sink in this case causes various issues, because userspace expects it to stay on until it turns it off explicitly.
Instead, turn the sink off and back on when a display is connected again. This dance seems necessary for link training to work correctly.
