Subject: [PATCH 1/2] drm/nouveau/kms/nv50-: Disable AUX bus for disconnected DP ports

GSP has its own state for keeping track of whether or not a given display
connector is plugged in or not, and enforces this state on the driver. In
particular, AUX transactions on a DisplayPort connector which GSP says is
disconnected can never succeed - and can in some cases even cause
unexpected timeouts, which can trickle up to cause other problems. A good
example of this is runtime power management: where we can actually get
stuck trying to resume the GPU if a userspace application like fwupd tries
accessing a drm_aux_dev for a disconnected port. This was an issue I hit a
few times with my Slimbook Executive 16 - where trying to offload something
to the discrete GPU would wake it up, and then potentially cause it to
timeout as fwupd tried to immediately access the dp_aux_dev nodes for
nouveau.

Likewise: we don't really have any cases I know of where we'd want to
ignore this state and try an aux transaction anyway - and failing pointless
aux transactions immediately can even speed things up. So - let's start
enabling/disabling the aux bus in nouveau_dp_detect() to fix this. We
enable the aux bus during connector probing, and leave it enabled if we
discover something is actually on the connector. Otherwise, we just shut it
off.

This should fix some people's runtime PM issues (like myself), and also get
rid of quite of a lot of GSP error spam in dmesg.
