This is part of a patch series to migrate all of the workarounds for commonly seen behavior from bad sinks in intel_dp_dpcd_read_wake() to drm's DP helper.
Some sinks will just return garbage for the first aux tranaction they receive when coming out of sleep mode, so we need to perform an additional read before the actual read to workaround this.
