The change on tgl+ platforms is that all the MST streams go through a
master transcoder, while on old platforms each stream has only its own
transcoder. Hence on tgl+ all streams/CRTCs may need to be modeset, at
least in the case the CRTC owning the master transcoder (for instance
pipe A/transcoder A) is modeset. So on tgl+ here all CRTCs for a given
MST topology is added to the state/marked for modeset.

pre-tgl this wasn't necessary, until the need to recalculate the BW
requirement of each stream came up, as described in the commit log.

I can clarify the above in the commit log and rename the function
accordingly, is that ok?
