drm/scdc: Document hotplug gotchas

There's some interactions between the SCDC setup and the disconnection /
reconnection of displays. Let's document it and a solution.

* HDMI 2.0 specification. It is a point-to-point protocol that allows the
* HDMI source and HDMI sink to exchange data. The same I2C interface that
* is used to access EDID serves as the transport mechanism for SCDC.
*
* Note: The SCDC status is going to be lost when the display is
* disconnected. This can happen physically when the user disconnects
* the cable, but also when a display is switched on (such as waking up
* a TV).
*
* This is further complicated by the fact that, upon a disconnection /
* reconnection, KMS won't change the mode on its own. This means that
* one can't just rely on setting the SCDC status on enable, but also
* has to track the connector status changes using interrupts and
* restore the SCDC status. The typical solution for this is to trigger an
* empty modeset in drm_connector_helper_funcs.detect_ctx(), like what vc4 does
* in vc4_hdmi_reset_link().
