commit 36e3fa6a38e135e9478a2f75dec9bf6ff1e6480e upstream.

The i2c adapter is only relevant for some peer device types, so let's clear the pdt if it's still the same as the old_pdt when we tear down the i2c adapter.

I don't really like this design pattern of updating port->whatever before doing the accompanying changes and passing around old_whatever to figure stuff out. Would make much more sense to me to the pass the new value around and only update the port->whatever when things are consistent. But let's try to work with what we have right now.

Quoting a follow-up from Ville:

"And naturally I forgot to amend the commit message w.r.t. this guy [the change in drm_dp_destroy_port]. We don't really need to do this here, but I figured I'd try to be a bit more consistent by having it, just to avoid accidental mistakes if/when someone changes this stuff again later."

v2: Clear port->pdt in the caller, if needed (Daniel)
