Hm yeah. I was kinda shooting for the minimal thing here.

The current logic (after this patch) is to
- always clear the bit when both pipes are off.
- always set if if we either enable pipe B or C and we'd need it to
allow the other pipe to be lit up. If pipe B uses 4 lanes then we
can't light pipe C up anymore, so we don't set the bit.

There is a potential issue though with all pipes disabled with dpms
off now. I think conceptually I need to precompute the desired state
of the bifurcate bit in the compute config stage and then only set it
here.

has_pch_encoder should only be true if we have fdi_lanes > 0. So we
shouldn't actually enable this stuff (and iirc I've tested the edp on
pipe C with pipe B using 4 lanes). The actual configuration checks all
happen in the pipe configuration computation stage. I'll rework the
patch a bit (but that'll take a while).

Thanks for the review,
Daniel
