The idea is that you'd grab the DPCD field anyway since it's needed all
over the place. We have a pile of helpers already that take exactly this
block and decode parts of it. So I think this makes sense - dp aux is fast
but not entirely free, so caching seems useful.

It's a bit strange then that this helper reads more code, but I guess you
really only care about the edp_rev field if you want the edp revision, and
with your interface suggestion I don't think we'd ever need to read this
again.

So for me the input fields make sense. I agree that for the output of the
function an enum with all the edp revisions is better.
