[PATCH 1/4] drm/dp: Change AUX DPCD probe address from DPCD_REV to LANE0_1_STATUS

Reading DPCD registers has side-effects in general. In particular
accessing registers outside of the link training register range
(0x102-0x106, 0x202-0x207, 0x200c-0x200f, 0x2216) is explicitly
forbidden by the DP v2.1 Standard, see

3.6.5.1 DPTX AUX Transaction Handling Mandates
3.6.7.4 128b/132b DP Link Layer LTTPR Link Training Mandates

Based on my tests, accessing the DPCD_REV register during the link
training of an UHBR TBT DP tunnel sink leads to link training failures.

Solve the above by using the DP_LANE0_1_STATUS (0x202) register for the
DPCD register access quirk.
