Background for this need of Type info in HDCP2.2 implementation is as 
follows:

HDCP2.2 Spec classify the protected content as Type 0 and Type 1. For 
Example lets say
- A HDCP2.2 Src is connected to HDCP repeater
- that repeater is connected to a HDCP2.2 panel
- that same repeater is also connected to a HDCP1.4 panel.

In this topology, as part of Repeater authentication:
- HDCP2.2 Source will mention the Content Type to HDCP2.2 Repeater
- Repeater can transmit this Type 1 content to HDCP2.2 compliant sink 
only (which is HDCP 2.2 panel here).
- Repeater can transmit any type0 content to any other devices (like 
HDCP1.4 panel here).
- Device with no HDCP support will get Neither of Type 0 or Type 1.

So if we implement HDCP2.2 with HDCP_ENABLE state alone there is no way 
for Userspace
to request for HDCP2.2 protection only. In this case we wont know the 
content type classification.

Even if we force Content type to Type1, in above topology Type 0 content 
that could be rendered to
HDCP1.4 compliant panel wont be rendered as that has been forcibly 
classified as Type 1 by KMD.

Forcing type 1 content to Type 0 will break the association of type1 
content to HDCP2.2 devices only.

More than that Devices with our indented DRM HDCP2.2 support wont pass 
the HDCP2.2 compliance.
Considering we could extend the CrOS Userspace for HDCP2.2, I would 
prefer to go ahead with
HDCP_ENABLE_TYPE1 along with HDCP_ENABLE.
