[PATCH v2 2/3] drm/dp_helper: Mention the concurrency requirement hw_mutex

[Maxime Ripard <maxime@cerno.tech>]

Drivers that allow concurrent access over multiple DP channels need to
provide additional locking, even though the hw_mutex field might
indicate otherwise. Clarify it in the documentation.
