MSM_DP_CONTROLLER_1 need to match to the index = 1 of sc7280_dp_cfg[] <== This is correct

The problem is sc7280_dp_cfg[] have two entries since eDP place at index 
of MSM_DP_CONTROLLER_1.

but .num_desc = 1  <== this said only have one entry at sc7280_dp_cfg[] 
table. Therefore eDP will never be found at for loop  at 
_dpu_kms_initialize_displayport().

Sorry, my mistake. it is not in drm_bridge_add.

It should be in dpu_encoder_init() of _dpu_kms_initialize_displayport().

can you make below changes (patch) to _dpu_kms_initialize_displayport().

kuogee: go backward for dp modeset_init
