We could add a slighty better explanation. How about:

/*
 * When the pipe CRC tap point is after the transcoders we need
 * to tweak symbol-level features to produce a deterministic series of
 * symbols for a given frame. We need to reset those features only once
 * a frame (instead of every nth symbol):
 *   - DC-balance: used to ensure a better clock recovery from the data
 *     link (SDVO)
 *   - DisplayPort scrambling: used for EMI reduction
 */

so then maybe rename this with 'need_stable_symbols'

It took me a bit of time to realize that you were only clearing the
"DC-Balance reset once a frame" bit when you're sure that we have no
pipe CRC needing stable symbols running at all on either pipe. And this
by using the SCRAMBLER_RESET bits in DFT2 as the state tracker.

Maybe add a small comment here to avoid those 20s of head scratching
when reading that code again in a bit.
