It's not about those few functions, it's because this enables the CEC
framework as well (drivers/media/cec).

If CEC is not needed, then disabling this saves a lot more code than the
few functions in drm_dp_cec.c.

CEC is an optional HDMI feature, so CEC support for HDMI input/output
drivers is optional as well in the kernel config.
