Actually without the transcoder port sync feature, we do not expect any tiled display
over two separate ports to work correctly, so if it is two connectors in state with tile props set
then we should reject the tiled mode on both those connectors since that might cause the artifacts
without proper sync between two ports which is supported only on ICL+

We have seen this issue on multiple 5K tiled displays IMH, so just adding a quirk for specific monitors
will not suffice.

But we would need to make sure that the mode gets rejected only if there are multiple SST connectors with
tile prop or connector->has_tile set because MST tiled displays still work correctly.

Ville, you had played a little bit with this 5K display I believe, do you think pruning the tiled mode
if there are tiled SST connectors and platform < ICL is a good solution?
