[PATCH] drm/amdgpu/display: fix dmub invalid register read

DMCUB_SCRATCH_0 sometimes contains 0xdeadbeef during initialization.
If this is detected, return 0 instead. This prevents wrong bit-flags
from being read.

The main impact of this bug is in the status check loop in
dmub_srv_wait_for_auto_load. As it is waiting for the device to become
ready, returning too early leads to a race condition. It is usually won
on first boot, but lost when laptop resumes from sleep, breaking screen
brightness control.

This issue was always present, but previously mitigated by the fact that
the full register was compared to the wanted value. Currently, only the
bottom two bits are tested, which are also set in 0xdeadbeef, thus
returning readiness to early.
