drm: bridge: adv7511: use non-legacy mode for CEC RX

The ADV7511 family of bridges supports two modes for CEC RX: legacy and
non-legacy mode. The only difference is whether the chip uses a single
CEC RX buffer, or uses all three available RX buffers. Currently the
adv7511 driver uses legacy mode.

While debugging a stall in CEC RX on an ADV7535, we reached out to
Analog Devices, who suggested to use non-legacy mode instead.  According
to the programming guide for the ADV7511 [1], and the register control
manual of the ADV7535 [2], this is the default behaviour on reset. As
previously stated, the adv7511 driver currently overrides this to legacy
mode.

This patch updates the adv7511 driver to instead use non-legacy mode
with all three CEC RX buffers. As a result of this change, we no longer
experience any stalling of CEC RX with the ADV7535. It is not known why
non-legacy mode solves this particular issue, but besides this, no
functional change is to be expected by this patch. Please note that this
has only been tested on an ADV7535.

What follows is a brief description of the non-legacy mode interrupt
handling behaviour. The programming guide in [1] gives a more detailed
explanation.

With three RX buffers, the interrupt handler checks the CEC_RX_STATUS
register (renamed from CEC_RX_ENABLE in this patch), which contains
2-bit psuedo-timestamps for each of the RX buffers. The RX timestamps
for each buffer represent the time of arrival for the CEC frame held in
a given buffer, with lower timestamp values indicating chronologically
older frames. A special value of 0 indicates that the given RX buffer
is inactive and should be skipped. The interrupt handler parses these
timestamps and then reads the active RX buffers in the prescribed order
using the same logic as before. Changes have been made to ensure that
the correct RX buffer is cleared after processing. This clearing
procesure also sets the timestamp of the given RX buffer to 0 to mark it
as inactive.

    cf. CEC Map, register 0x4A, bit 3, default value 1:
    0 = Use only buffer 0 to store CEC frames (Legacy mode)
    1 = Use all 3 buffers to stores the CEC frames (Non-legacy mode)

[2] The ADV7535 register control manual is under NDA, but trust me when
    I say that non-legacy CEC RX mode is the default here too. Here the
    register is offset by 0x70 and has an address of 0xBA in the DSI_CEC
    regiser map.
