With Display Compression, the bit error in the pixel
stream can turn into a significant corruption on
the screen. The DP1.4 adds FEC - Forward Error Correction
scheme which uses Reed-Solomon parity/correction check
generated by the source and used by the sink to detect
and correct small numbers of bit errors in the compressed
stream.

v2: Avoid doing aux channel read eberytime we check
for FEC support. Instead cache the value of the DPCD
registers, similar to the DSC implementaion (Jani)

This is rebased on top of Manasi's End-to-end DSC
Implementation: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/47514/

Tested on Odelia Board after applying the FEC workaround.

Anusha Srivatsa (6):
  i915/dp/fec: Cache the FEC_CAPABLE DPCD register
  i915/dp/fec: Check for FEC Support
  drm/dp/fec: DRM helper for Forward Error Correction
  drm/i915/fec: Set FEC_READY in FEC_CONFIGURATION
  i915/dp/fec: Configure the Forward Error Correction bits.
  drm/i915/fec: Disable FEC state.
