Lyude Paul df78f7f660 drm/display/dp_mst: Call them time slots, not VCPI slots
VCPI is only sort of the correct term here, originally the majority of this
code simply referred to timeslots vaguely as "slots" - and since I started
working on it and adding atomic functionality, the name "VCPI slots" has
been used to represent time slots.

Now that we actually have consistent access to the DisplayPort spec thanks
to VESA, I now know this isn't actually the proper term - as the
specification refers to these as time slots.

Since we're trying to make this code as easy to figure out as possible,
let's take this opportunity to correct this nomenclature and call them by
their proper name - timeslots. Likewise, we rename various functions
appropriately, along with replacing references in the kernel documentation
and various debugging messages.

It's important to note that this patch series leaves the legacy MST code
untouched for the most part, which is fine since we'll be removing it soon
anyhow. There should be no functional changes in this series.

v2:
* Add note that Wayne Lin from AMD suggested regarding slots being between
  the source DP Tx and the immediate downstream DP Rx

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
