[PATCH 4/5] drm/bridge: synopsys: dw-dp: Add HDR static metadata support

Send an HDR Metadata InfoFrame SDP (DP 1.4a, Table 2-100 and
Table 2-101) when the connector state carries HDR output metadata, and
attach the HDR_OUTPUT_METADATA property in the Rockchip glue so
userspace can set it.

The infoframe is built with drm_hdmi_infoframe_set_hdr_metadata() and
packed with drm_dp_hdr_metadata_infoframe_sdp_pack(), then written
into a free slot of the SDP register bank with vertical interval
transmission, so the controller resends it once per frame during the
vertical blanking period. The SDP is sent at the end of
dw_dp_video_enable(), next to the existing VSC SDP; the connector
state is passed down from atomic_enable(), which already looks it up.

The allocated slot is tracked in hdr_sdp_nr and released in
atomic_disable(), following the VSC SDP pattern exactly:
atomic_disable() only clears tracked slots, so an untracked slot would
leak on every enable/disable cycle until dw_dp_send_sdp() runs out of
free slots and fails with -EBUSY for every SDP, including VSC and
audio.

A metadata change on a live stream (HDR on/off toggle, different
mastering display data) forces a full modeset: atomic_check() compares
the old and new connector state with
drm_connector_atomic_hdr_metadata_equal() and sets
crtc_state->mode_changed, the same approach as dw-hdmi. The resulting
disable/enable cycle then drops or (re)sends the SDP.

Commits without HDR metadata are unaffected: with a NULL metadata blob
in both old and new connector state,
drm_connector_atomic_hdr_metadata_equal() treats them as equal, no
modeset is forced, and dw_dp_video_enable() skips the SDP. This keeps
plain SDR commits a no-op even for compositors that write a NULL blob
on every atomic modeset once the property exists (KWin does).
