Well, us using manual fdi train is a different matter altogether. And
since there's nothing in the docs indicating that we don't need this w/a
if we don't do autotraining, I prefer to just stick it into the code.

And Damien tried to do the auto training, but somehow it failed ...

According to my reading of the modeset sequence we need to do this after
the fdi train is fully done, but before we enable the pch dp transcoder.
So I think this is the right place, and I can't actually move it anyplace
else. And since the pch dp transcoder is a cpt/ppt-only feature, it' fits
rather naturally.
