[PATCH] drm/amd/display: Fix logical vs bitwise bug in get_embedded_panel_info_v2_1()

[Dan Carpenter]

The .H_SYNC_POLARITY and .V_SYNC_POLARITY variables are 1 bit bitfields
of a u32.  The ATOM_HSYNC_POLARITY define is 0x2 and the
ATOM_VSYNC_POLARITY is 0x4.  When we do a bitwise negate of 0, 2, or 4
then the last bit is always 1 so this code always sets .H_SYNC_POLARITY
and .V_SYNC_POLARITY to true.

This code is instead intended to check if the ATOM_HSYNC_POLARITY or
ATOM_VSYNC_POLARITY flags are set and reverse the result.  In other
words, it's supposed to be a logical negate instead of a bitwise negate.

Fixes: ae79c310b1a6 ("drm/amd/display: Add DCE12 bios parser support")

Please note that I have not tested this.  It's straight forward enough to
see that logical negate was intended, but it's always good to test things
as well.

Harshit and I only recently created this static checker warning.
