If an eDP panel is not powered on then any attempts to talk to it over
the DP AUX channel will timeout. Unfortunately these attempts may be
quite slow. Userspace can initiate these attempts either via a
/dev/drm_dp_auxN device or via the created i2c device.
Making the DP AUX drivers timeout faster is a difficult proposition.
In theory we could just poll the panel's HPD line in the AUX transfer
function and immediately return an error there. However, this is
easier said than done. For one thing, there's no hard requirement to
hook the HPD line up for eDP panels and it's OK to just delay a fixed
amount. For another thing, the HPD line may not be fast to probe. On
parade-ps8640 we need to wait for the bridge chip's firmware to boot
before we can get the HPD line and this is a slow process.
The fact that the transfers are taking so long to timeout is causing
real problems. The open source fwupd daemon sometimes scans DP busses
looking for devices whose firmware need updating. If it happens to
scan while a panel is turned off this scan can take a long time. The
fwupd daemon could try to be smarter and only scan when eDP panels are
turned on, but we can also improve the behavior in the kernel.
Let's let eDP panels drivers specify that a panel is turned off and
then modify the common AUX transfer code not to attempt a transfer in
this case.

Rename dp/ to display/ to account for additional display-related
helpers, such as HDMI. Update all related include statements. No
functional changes.
Various drivers, such as i915 and amdgpu, use similar naming scheme
by putting code for video-output standards into a local display/
directory. The new directory's name is aligned with this convention.

The Samsung ATNA33XC20 panel is an AMOLED eDP panel that has backlight
control over the DP AUX channel.
This panel is _almost_ able to be controlled in a "simple" way (and it
originally was implemented in panel-simple.c), but it's really
impossible to get the backlight semantics right there without adding
wacky special-case code to panel-simple. Let's give up and clone the
parts of panel-simple that we need and implement the power sequence
that this panel needs.
NOTE: we'll still leave the devicetree bindings alone. Even though the
power-sequencing is non-standard the bindings are still "simple".
