Ugh. drm_dp_channel_eq_ok() does not actually require more than
DP_LINK_STATUS_SIZE - 2 elements in the link_status. It's some other
related functions that do, and in most cases it's convenient to read all
those DP_LINK_STATUS_SIZE bytes.

However, here the case is slightly different for DP MST, and the change
causes reserved DPCD addresses to be read. Not sure it matters, but
really I think the problem is what drm_dp_channel_eq_ok() advertizes.

I also don't like the array notation with sizes in function parameters
in general, because I think it's misleading. Would gcc-11 warn if a
function actually accesses the memory out of bounds of the size?

Anyway. I don't think we're going to get rid of the array notation
anytime soon, if ever, no matter how much I dislike it, so I think the
right fix would be to at least state the correct required size in
drm_dp_channel_eq_ok().

Jani.
