phy: qualcomm: qmp-combo: Ignore Type-C orientation for Glymur DP mode

Glymur platforms use a fixed DP lane mapping and do not support DP PHY mode
reversal based on Type-C orientation. Add a configuration flag to ignore
reverse orientation during DP mode setup and enable it for Glymur, ensuring
that QSERDES_DP_PHY_MODE is always programmed with the fix mode value (0x5c).

[Severity: High]
Does this orientation override fully handle reverse mode on Glymur platforms?

In drivers/phy/qualcomm/phy-qcom-qmp-combo.c, within
qmp_combo_configure_dp_mode(), the reverse variable still dynamically
swaps the powered-down lanes prior to this check:

	if (dp_opts->lanes == 4 || reverse)
		val |= DP_PHY_PD_CTL_LANE_0_1_PWRDN;
	if (dp_opts->lanes == 4 || !reverse)
		val |= DP_PHY_PD_CTL_LANE_2_3_PWRDN;

If the platform has fixed DP lane mapping and ignores orientation, won't
this incorrectly power off the active lanes when a Type-C cable is
inserted in the reverse orientation?

Additionally, qmp_v8_configure_dp_phy() also appears to bypass the
intended fixed configuration forced by dp_mode_ignore_reverse, as the
lane driver and transceiver bias enable values still dynamically swap
based on orientation:

	if (dp_opts->lanes == 1) {
		bias0_en = reverse ? 0x3e : 0x15;
		bias1_en = reverse ? 0x15 : 0x3e;
		drvr0_en = reverse ? 0x13 : 0x10;
		drvr1_en = reverse ? 0x10 : 0x13;

Could these omissions cause DisplayPort output over Type-C to completely
fail when the cable is inserted in the reverse orientation, as the PHY
configuration will incorrectly power down the active DP lanes and apply
wrong transceiver bias settings?
