Without this change, the display still works...

I'm not sure I yet fully understand the requirements here, but could it
be that only supporting ASSR is why the scrambling is disabled below?
Commenting out that write does not affect the bring up of my DP monitor.

And indeed, this part is important. If I drop this hunk - then I get no
display output.
I'm afraid I don't (yet) know the reasons 'why' to extend the comment,
beyond "Scrambling is not supported for DP".
If anyone already does, please feel free to provide the text, and I'll
include it in the next revision, or I'll try to do some more digging
into this part.
