[ 378.105226] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000245
[ 378.105296] IP: intel_ddi_post_disable+0x54/0x170 [i915]

[Fix]
Revert "drm/i915/dp: Send DPCD ON for MST before phy_up".

[Test]
User confirmed reverting the commit can fix the issue.

[Regression Potential]
Low. If this commit is important then we need to also backport its
dependencies.
