[PATCH v3 3/3] drm/i915: Add code comment on assumption of pipe==transcoder

[Imre Deak <imre.deak@intel.com>]

Add a comment to the pipe and transcoder enum definitions about our
assumption in the code about enum values for pipes and transcoders
with a 1:1 transcoder -> pipe mapping.

v2:
- Clarify more what are the assumptions about the enum values. (Ville)
v3: (Lucas)
- s/->/ -> / so it looks less like pointer dereferencing.
- Use pipe enums as initializers in the transcoder enum definition.
