drm/display: Don't assume dual mode adaptors support i2c sub-addressing
Current dual mode adaptor ("DP++") detection code assumes that all adaptors support i2c sub-addressing for read operations from the DP-HDMI adaptor ID buffer. It has been observed that multiple adaptors do not in fact support this, and always return data starting at register 0. On affected adaptors, the code fails to read the proper registers that would identify the device as a type 2 adaptor, and handles those as type 1, limiting the TMDS clock to 165MHz, even if the according register would announce a higher TMDS clock. Fix this by always reading the ID buffer starting from offset 0, and discarding any bytes before the actual offset of interest. We tried finding authoritative documentation on whether or not this is allowed behaviour, but since all the official VESA docs are paywalled, the best we could come up with was the spec sheet for Texas Instruments' SNx5DP149 chip family.[1] It explicitly mentions that sub-addressing is supported for register writes, but *not* for reads (See NOTE in section 8.5.3). Unless TI openly decided to violate the VESA spec, one could take that as a hint that sub-addressing is in fact not mandated by VESA. The other two adaptors affected used the PS8409(A) and the LT8611, according to the data returned from their ID buffers.
