[Intel-gfx] Handling DP compliance short pulse for DP MST

Hi,

I have been working on adding DP compliance test request support in
i915 driver. Unigraf DPR-120 is used as a DP Compliance reference 
sink device that generates a short pulse for the compliance test requests.
In case of DP SST, these short pulses get handled in the i915 driver's
short pulse handler (intel_dp_short_pulse). This has been successfully working
to run the DP compliance tests for DP SST. The next step is to handle the DP
compliance short pulses for DP MST. However in case of MST, it also recieves 
short pulses for the sideband traffic from the branch device. This gets handled
in the DRM layer. Since the short pulses for MST get handled in drm layer, should
the compliance short pulses for MST also be handled in DRM layer? In this case,
DRM will read process the short pulse in DRM and call the Compliance test handler
in i915 driver through a function pointer. 

Any thoughts on this implementation of DP compliance support for MST?

Manasi
