drm/i915/hdmi: Poll for 200 msec for TMDS_Scrambler_Status

HDMI 2.0 section 6.1.3.1 specifies that after enabling
Scrambling_Enable and starting scrambled video transmission, the source
should poll Scrambling_Status until it reads 1 or until a timeout of
200 ms expires.

Add a polling step after enabling the HDMI port to check the scrambling
status when HDMI scrambling is enabled.

On some HDMI 2.0 sinks, omitting this check can result in 4K@60Hz
(594 MHz) failing to come up correctly because the sink has not yet
finished its scrambling setup. In practice, waiting for the scrambling
status here fixes such sinks.

While this synchronous polling is not itself explicitly required for
correct modeset sequencing, HDMI 2.0 section 6.1.3.1 does recommend it
as the way for the source to verify that the TMDS link is functioning
correctly with scrambling enabled.

v3:
 - Add explicit HDMI 2.0 section reference in code comment
 - Clarify commit message around the observed sink fix

v2:
 - Poll TMDS_Scrambler_Status for up to 200 ms instead of using a fixed
   delay
