Unnecessary comment, it's clear from the code flow that vsync_cfg.vsync_source
is passed down into both functions.

Perhaps we should pass disp_info->vsync_source directly into
hw_intf->ops.vsync_sel() and only initialize vsync_cfg when hw_mdptop has the
function, to make this clear.

This change is not mentioned in the commit description. While true that
pp_count is only used by dpu_hw_setup_vsync_sel(), that is still a valid
function to be called on DPU < 5; it denotes the amount of ppnumber[i] array
entries are used above.

Same, also not mentioned in the commit description. frame_rate
is used by dpu_hw_setup_wd_timer() on DPU < 8.

But all of the above comments don't matter if the call to setup_vsync_source()
is removed entirely - it didn't move anywhere else. This is not described in
the commit message.
