[PATCH v2 09/14] drm/dp-mst: Export symbols for dpcd read/write

[Added Leo Li here, since they did the auxdev work that introduced these
functions]

Since it seems we'll actually be doing remote DPCD read/writes in DRM drivers
and not just from auxdev, maybe we should combine drm_dp_dpcd_read() with
drm_dp_mst_dpcd_read() and do the same with the _write() variants? Based on
previous discussions with Leo Li I remember that we can't just combine the
dp_aux_dev->transfer() callbacks in struct drm_dp_aux_dev, but I don't see a
reason we can't just teach drm_dp_dpcd_read/write() to work with MST aux so
that we don't need two seperate functions. This should be pretty easy to do,
just:

/* Add a check like this at the start of drm_dp_dpcd_read(): */
ssize_t drm_dp_dpcd_read(...) {
	if (aux->is_remote)
		return drm_dp_mst_dpcd_read(...);

	/* ... */
}

/* And in drm_dp_dpcd_write(): */
ssize_t drm_dp_dpcd_write(...) {
	if (aux->is_remote)
		return drm_dp_mst_dpcd_write(...);

	/* ... */
}

Then just replace the manual calls to drm_dp_mst_dpcd_write() in
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_dp_aux_dev.c with normal
drm_dp_dpcd_read()/drm_dp_dpcd_write() calls. Thoughts?
