drm/i915: rip out edp special case from dp_link_down

This has been tons of fun to figure out with git blame. The first
notion of this code block goes back to the original cpu edp enabling
for ilk in

    drm/i915: Add eDP support on IGDNG mobile chip

Two things are notable in this commit wrt to the this edp special
case:
- The IS_eDP check _only_ fires for DP A, i.e. cpu edp ports.
- The cpu edp port is disabled at the top of the dp_link_down function.

My theory is that these hacks was added to work around the completely
different modeset sequence for cpu edp ports compared to pch edp
ports. With the cpu edp confusion on ilk (and snb/ivb) now fixed up,
this shouldn't be required any more.

The really interesting question is how this special cases survived
this long in the code. The first step is declaring the pch port D as
eDP if it's used for an internal panel:

    drm/i915/dp: Correctly report eDP in the core connector type

This commit unfortunately failed to notice that not all edp ports are
created equal. Then follow a flurry of refactorings, culminating in a
patch from Keith Packard which resulted in the current logic (by
making it "correct" for all platforms that have edp):

    drm/i915: Treat PCH eDP like DP in most places

None of these cleanups or refactorings supply any reason why we need
this code, they've simply carried it on as-is.

Hence presume it might be harmful with the current code and rip it
out. We do rewrite the link training bits completely anyway when
re-training the link.
