Already added the kerneldoc (mostly copy'pasted from
drm_dp_aux_register), but good job you didn't check the i2c code as it
changed in v4.7. However, it motivated a better patch as i2c now allows
for us to control the locking and so we can make the interaction between
i2c and the drm_dp_aux->hw_mutex (used for the DPCD bypass) much
clearer.
