[PATCH v4 2/5] drm/dp: fix link probing for devices supporting DP 1.4+

From: Quentin Schulz <quentin.schulz at free-electrons.com>

DP 1.4 introduced a DP_EXTENDED_RECEIVER_CAP_FIELD_PRESENT bit in
DP_TRAINING_AUX_RD_INTERVAL register. If set, DPCD registers from
DP_DPCD_REV to DP_ADAPTER_CAP should be retrieved starting from
DP_DPCD_REV_EXTENDED. All registers are copied except DP_DPCD_REV,
DP_MAX_LINK_RATE and DP_DOWNSTREAMPORT_PRESENT which represent the
"true capabilities" of DPRX device.

Original DP_DPCD_REV, DP_MAX_LINK_RATE and DP_DOWNSTREAMPORT_PRESENT
might falsely return lower capabilities to "avoid interoperability
issues with some of the existing DP Source devices that malfunction
when they discover the higher capabilities within those three
registers.".

Before DP 1.4, DP_EXTENDED_RECEIVER_CAP_FIELD_PRESENT bit was reserved
and read 0 so it's safe to check against it even if DP revision is
<1.4
