On the ThinkPad P71, we have one eDP connector exposed along with 5 DP
connectors, resulting in a total of 11 TMDS encoders. Since the GPU on
this system is also capable of MST, we create an additional 4 fake MST
encoders for each DP port. Unfortunately, we also do this for the eDP
port as well, resulting in:
1 eDP port: +1 TMDS encoder
+4 DPMST encoders
5 DP ports: +2 TMDS encoders
+4 DPMST encoders
*5 ports
== 35 encoders
Which breaks things, since DRM has a hard coded limit of 32 encoders.
So, fix this by not creating MSTMs for any eDP connectors. This brings
us down to 31 encoders, although we can do better.
This fixes driver probing for nouveau on the ThinkPad P71.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
