drm: document standard connector properties

Browse Source 
There's a really big pile of additional connector properties, a lot of
them standardized. But they're all for specific outputs (panels, TV,
scaling, ...) so I left them out for now since this is enough for a
start.

I typed this to give Manasi a place to add her new link status
property documentation.

v2: forgot to git add all the bits (Manasi).

v3: Be more epxlicit about integrated tiled panels (Archit)

/**
* DOC: standard connector properties
*
* DRM connectors have a few standardized properties:
*
* EDID:
* Blob property which contains the current EDID read from the sink. This
* is useful to parse sink identification information like vendor, model
* and serial. Drivers should update this property by calling
* drm_mode_connector_update_edid_property(), usually after having parsed
* the EDID using drm_add_edid_modes(). Userspace cannot change this
* property.
* DPMS:
* Legacy property for setting the power state of the connector. For atomic
* drivers this is only provided for backwards compatibility with existing
* drivers, it remaps to controlling the "ACTIVE" property on the CRTC the
* connector is linked to. Drivers should never set this property directly,
* it is handled by the DRM core by calling the ->dpms() callback in
* &drm_connector_funcs. Atomic drivers should implement this hook using
* drm_atomic_helper_connector_dpms(). This is the only property standard
* connector property that userspace can change.
* PATH:
* Connector path property to identify how this sink is physically
* connected. Used by DP MST. This should be set by calling
* drm_mode_connector_set_path_property(), in the case of DP MST with the
* path property the MST manager created. Userspace cannot change this
* property.
* TILE:
* Connector tile group property to indicate how a set of DRM connector
* compose together into one logical screen. This is used by both high-res
* external screens (often only using a single cable, but exposing multiple
* DP MST sinks), or high-res integrated panels (like dual-link DSI) which
* are not gen-locked. Note that for tiled panels which are genlocked, like
* dual-link LVDS or dual-link DSI, the driver should try to not expose the
* tiling and virtualize both &drm_crtc and &drm_plane if needed. Drivers
* should update this value using drm_mode_connector_set_tile_property().
* Userspace cannot change this property.
*
* Connectors also have one standardized atomic property:
*
* CRTC_ID:
* Mode object ID of the &drm_crtc this connector should be connected to.
