drm: Document drm_connector_helper_funcs

Browse Source 
Nothing special, except the somewhat awkward split in probe helper
callbacks between here and drm_crtc_funcs.

v2: Suggestions from Thierry.

* want to update the ELD data, too, using drm_edid_to_eld().

* This function is only called after the ->detect() hook has indicated
* that a sink is connected and when the EDID isn't overridden through
* sysfs or the kernel commandline.
*
