gcc-11 warns that intel_dp_check_mst_status() has a local array of
fourteen bytes and passes the last four bytes into a function that
expects a six-byte array:

drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_dp.c: In function ‘intel_dp_check_mst_status’:
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_dp.c:4556:22: error: ‘drm_dp_channel_eq_ok’ reading 6 bytes from a region of size 4 [-Werror=stringop-overread]
 4556 |                     !drm_dp_channel_eq_ok(&esi[10], intel_dp->lane_count)) {
      |                      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_dp.c:4556:22: note: referencing argument 1 of type ‘const u8 *’ {aka ‘const unsigned char *’}
In file included from drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_dp.c:38:
include/drm/drm_dp_helper.h:1459:6: note: in a call to function ‘drm_dp_channel_eq_ok’
 1459 | bool drm_dp_channel_eq_ok(const u8 link_status[DP_LINK_STATUS_SIZE],
      |      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Clearly something is wrong here, but I can't quite figure out what.
Changing the array size to 16 bytes avoids the warning, but is
probably the wrong solution here.
