Sigh. I can't believe that I added this for cheza in commit
0d1ce0d14bd7 ("arm64: dts: sdm845: Add "no-hpd" to sn65dsi86 on
cheza") but forgot trogdor. Thanks.

NOTE: if you were feeling charitable you might consider sending a
patch for "sdm850-lenovo-yoga-c630.dts" as well.  I don't personally
know if HPD is hooked up on that system, but presumably even if it is
it's just as useless as it is on other systems where the bridge is
used for eDP. If nothing else setting it preserves existing behavior.
Someone (I forget who) requested that I word the bindings specifically
to say that "no-hpd" was OK to specify in cases like that, since the
bindings say:
