Gustavo Sousa df5dd52a6d drm/i915/display: Handle dedicated external ports in intel_encoder_is_tc()
Starting with Xe3p_LPD, the VBT has a new field, called in the driver
"dedicated_external", which tells that a Type-C capable port is
physically connected to a PHY outside of the Type-C subsystem.  When
that's the case, the driver must not do the extra Type-C programming for
that port.  Update intel_encoder_is_tc() to check for that case.

While at it, add a note to intel_phy_is_tc() to remind us that it is
about whether the respective port is a Type-C capable port rather than
the PHY itself.

(Maybe it would be a nice idea to rename intel_phy_is_tc()?)

Note that this was handled with a new bool member added to struct
intel_digital_port instead of having querying the VBT directly because
VBT memory is freed (intel_bios_driver_remove) before encoder cleanup
(intel_ddi_encoder_destroy), which would cause an oops to happen when
the latter calls intel_encoder_is_tc().  This could be fixed by keeping
VBT data around longer, but that's left for a follow-up work, if deemed
necessary.

v2:
  - Drop printing info about dedicated external, now that we are doing
    it when parsing the VBT. (Jani)
  - Add a FIXME comment on the code explaining why we need to store
    dedicated_external in struct intel_digital_port. (Jani)
v3:
  - Simplify the code by using NULL check for dig_port to avoid using
    intel_encoder_is_dig_port(). (Imre)
