If a HDCP repeater is detected with zero hdcp authenticated

1. Dont continue on second stage authentication. Disable encryption.
2. Continue with second stage authentication excluding the KSV list and
continue encryption on success.
This patch adopts the option 1.
It doesn't seem that hard to adopt option 2 and avoid failure. That would result
in a better experience.
True. Not too much effort for option 2. But I am not seeing any ROI out of
it at this point.
what is the benefit of encrypting if repeater cant use it, as it has 0 sinks
attached to it.
Still do we want option two?
Is it possible the repeater itself has video output? I'm also worried about
non-compliant displays which may report having a repeater. If these aren't
possible, I agree. Just beef up the comment like "If there are no downstream
devices, spec requires we disable all encryption. So fail here to ensure hdcp is
disabled"
Sean
When spec provide an option that we can disable the HDCP encryption incase
of repeater with device count 0, that means repeaters cant have display.
Display which claims to be a repeater, mostly wont pass the second stage
authentication meant for repeaters. So we need not worry about them.
Sure as you mentioned i will rephrase the commit message with these informations.
