Ugh... most of these functions shouldn't be there in the first place. We
have helpers in the core that already do this. Most of the functionality
is duplicated in this driver.

I realize that this is a problem that existed in the Exynos DP driver,
but somebody really ought to rewrite those parts to make use of the DRM
DP helpers.
