[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] [i915] add module param "enable_dp_mst"

[Nathan Schulte]

Adds an (unsafe; auto-kernel-tainting) boolean module parameter to the i915
drm driver: "enable_dp_mst", which is enabled by default.  Disabling the
parameter forces newly connected DisplayPort sinks to report as not
supporting multi-stream transport (MST), thus "forcing" the use of
single-stream transport (SST).
