drm/dp/i2c: Update comments about common i2c over dp assumptions (v3)
If you are using the common dp over i2c functionality, it is
asumed that the aux transfer function does not modify the any
of the msg structure other than the reply field. Doing so
breaks the logic in the common code.
v2: update struct drm_dp_aux comments about assumptions
v3 (chk): rebased on upstream changes
