drm/i915/vbt: ignore extraneous child devices for a port
commit 7c648bde upstream. Ever since we've parsed VBT child devices, starting from 6acab15a ("drm/i915: use the HDMI DDI buffer translations from VBT"), we've ignored the child device information if more than one child device references the same port. The rationale for this seems lost in time. Since commit 311a2094 ("drm/i915: don't init DP or HDMI when not supported by DDI port") we started using this information more to skip HDMI/DP init if the port wasn't there per VBT child devices. However, at the same time it added port defaults without further explanation. Thus, if the child device info was skipped due to multiple child devices referencing the same port, the device info would be retrieved from the somewhat arbitrary defaults. Finally, when commit bb1d1329 ("drm/i915/vbt: split out defaults that are set when there is no VBT") stopped initializing the defaults whenever VBT is present, thus trusting the VBT more, we stopped initializing ports which were referenced by more than one child device. Apparently at least Asus UX305UA, UX305U, and UX306U laptops have VBT child device blocks which cause this behaviour. Arguably they were shipped with a broken VBT. Relax the rules for multiple references to the same port, and use the first child device info to reference a port. Retain the logic to debug log about this, though.
