If there is a machine having both edp and lvds, then edp takes higher
priority. edp_downclock_avail and edp_downclock were added here
following the existing code having lvds_downclock_avail and
lvds_downclock here. If required, edp_downclock_avail and edp_downclock
can be moved to intel_panel structure. Kindly let us know.

The enum edp_panel_type is required to check DRRS capability of the
panel before performing any enabling. We will look into an
implementation which can do without edp_drrs_refresh_rate_type.
