Ok, we can remove this parameter from DTS and let driver attempt both
HDCP 2.2 and HDCP 1.4 in the same sequence so that HDCP version is
selected based on sink capabilities. But then user space application will
not have information about the HDCP version with which content will be
protected. I suppose most UHD 4k content would need HDCP 2.2.
So, forcing HDCP version in DTS was the easiest way.
