I found that commit message a bit confusing. How about the following instead?

Since commit 30d9aa4265fe ("drm/i915: Read sink_count dpcd always"), the status
of a DP connector depends on its sink count value. However, some eDP panels
don't set that value appropriately, causing them to be reported as disconnected.
Fix this by ignoring sink count for eDP.

Is there such an eDP panel that would have downstream facing ports? I don't
think this code could be reached otherwise. Anyway, it is probably better to be
paranoid when it comes to this.

Tvrtko, can you confirm this fixes the problem for you?
