As per the DP 1.4 spec, it says this indicates sink's ability to ignore MSA video timing
parameters to support seamless video timing change over range of timing exposed in DisplayID and
legacy EDID. This query should occur before enabling dynamic video timing change
of incoming video stream without valid MSA video timing params.

May be i rename it as: drm_dp_sink_capable_video_without_timing_msa() ?
