Add helpers to manage the full lifecycle of HDMI 2.0 SCDC scrambling on
both source and sink sides:

- drm_hdmi_mode_needs_scrambling(): checks whether a mode, bits per
  component and output format combination requires scrambling, which is
  needed when the resulting TMDS character rate exceeds the HDMI 1.3
  maximum of 340 MHz

- drm_connector_hdmi_enable_scrambling(): configures SCDC scrambling and
  high TMDS clock ratio and starts a periodic work item that monitors
  the sink's SCDC scrambling status, retrying setup when the sink loses
  state

- drm_connector_hdmi_disable_scrambling(): tears down scrambling on both
  sides and cancels the monitoring work

- drm_connector_hdmi_sync_scdc(): triggers a CRTC reset on reconnection
  to restore SCDC state lost during sink disconnects within an active
  display pipeline

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 4 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] SCDC scrambling monitor work item stops polling permanently after first success or I2C failure.
- [High] Incorrect pending commit check in drm_connector_hdmi_sync_scdc() bypasses synchronization and allows concurrent hardware programming.
- [High] Sleeping functions called from atomic context in SCDC scrambling lifecycle helpers.
- [Medium] The drm_connector_hdmi_sync_scdc() function is dead code and breaks the automatic SCDC sync feature.

[Severity: High]
Does this code sleep in atomic context? drm_scdc_set_high_tmds_clock_ratio()
internally calls usleep_range(1000, 2000). If this is called from atomic
modesetting callbacks (like encoder enable), it will violate the atomic
context constraint.

> +	if (!done)
> +		return -EIO;

[Severity: High]
If an I2C error occurs here, the function returns early without rescheduling
the work. Will this cause the polling to stop permanently upon a transient
failure?

[Severity: High]
If the SCDC status is correct (!drm_scdc_get_scrambling_status() is false),
the delayed work item is not rescheduled. Does this mean the periodic monitor
will only run once and then stop tracking the SCDC status permanently?

> +	if (hdmi->scdc_work_initialized)

[Severity: High]
Could this cause a sleep in atomic context? cancel_delayed_work_sync() is a
blocking function. If this disable path is executed during an atomic commit,
it will violate atomic context constraints.

[Severity: Medium]
Is this function actually hooked up? It appears to be dead code that is never
called from drm_atomic_helper_connector_hdmi_hotplug() as claimed in the
commit message and comments, which would mean the automatic SCDC sync feature
is not functional.

[ ... ]

> +	    !try_wait_for_completion(&conn_state->commit->hw_done))
> +		return 0;

[Severity: High]
Does this check the wrong commit pointer? According to the DRM core
documentation, conn_state->commit is only set when crtc is NULL. However,
earlier in this function, it explicitly returns if crtc is NULL.

This means conn_state->commit is guaranteed to be NULL here, which bypasses
synchronization and could allow concurrent hardware programming while a
non-blocking commit is active. Should this be checking crtc->state->commit
instead?
