[PATCH] drm/dp: Avoid Reading DPCD_REV Before Native Aux Read

[Fangzhi Zuo]

The attempt to read DPCD_REV before any native aux read breaks
majority of DP2 compliance.

The spec. requires DP_SINK_STATUS to be polled for the reset status
DP_INTRA_HOP_AUX_REPLY_INDICATION during the clear training stage.

Polling DP_SINK_STATUS each time gets DPCD_REV read first
that makes non link training regsiter DPCD_REV get read
during UHBR link training. It violates DP2 compliance.
