[PATCH v4 4/5] drm/dp: Add an EDID quirk for the DPCD register access probe

Reading DPCD registers has side-effects and some of these can cause a
problem for instance during link training. Based on this it's better to
avoid the probing quirk done before each DPCD register read, limiting
this to the monitor which requires it. Add an EDID quirk for this. Leave
the quirk enabled by default, allowing it to be disabled after the
monitor is detected.

v2: Fix lockdep wrt. drm_dp_aux::hw_mutex when calling
    drm_dp_dpcd_set_probe_quirk() with a dependent lock already held.
v3: Add a helper for determining if DPCD probing is needed. (Jani)
v4:
- s/drm_dp_dpcd_set_probe_quirk/drm_dp_dpcd_set_probe (Jani)
- Fix documentation of drm_dp_dpcd_set_probe().
- Add comment at the end of internal quirk entries.
