If we've determined that the encoder is eDP, we shouldn't try to use MST
on it. Or at least the code doesn't seem to expect that since there are
some type==DP checks in the MST code.

How sure are we that MST eDP panels won't show up in the future?

Like the code could be buggy now, but breaking it completely is different.

I've no insight into future eDP panel development.

No clue really. The only reference to MST in the eDP spec is the
explanation of the acronym.

I did spot that there's this thing called multi-SST mode, where you feed
the panel with several SST links. But that's sort of the opposite of
MST.

Should be easy for someone familiar with the MST code to fix if eDP+MST
ever makes an appearance; Just revert this patch, and deal with any
fallout.
