Uhhuh. I already pushed things out, but my clang build (which I don't
do between each merge) shows a problem:

  drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm_mst_types.c:650:8:
  warning: logical not is only applied to the left hand side of this
comparison [-Wlogical-not-parentheses]
                && !params[i].clock_force_enable == DSC_CLK_FORCE_DEFAULT) {
                   ^                             ~~

and I think clang is entirely right to complain about that code.

Yes, the code may be correct, but even if it's correct, that's a
really odd way to write things.

Anyway, what it does is:

   !params[i].clock_force_enable

turns 0 into 1, and anything that isn't 0 into 0.

And DSC_CLK_FORCE_DEFAULT has a value of 0, so what that line actually means is

  (params[i].clock_force_enable == 0) == 0

which obviously is

  params[i].clock_force_enable != 0

which in this case is the same as

  params[i].clock_force_enable != DSC_CLK_FORCE_DEFAULT

which may be what the code actually meant to do.

So I suspect it does what it meant to do, but only because
DSC_CLK_FORCE_DEFAULT also happens to be 0, which also acts as a
boolean 'false'.

But it's also possible that the '!' is a left-over, and the code
actually _meant_ to do the exact reverse of that. I have no idea.

This odd code was introduced by commit 0749ddeb7d6c ("drm/amd/display:
Add DSC force disable to dsc_clock_en debugfs entry"), and can we
please agree to not write this kind of obfuscated C code?
