 PWM-pin mode to DPCD control. `tools/survey-edp-aux.py` checks, read-only from

+completes a layer-0 swap right after its scanout copy instead of at the next
+frame tick. WindowServer keeps at most two swaps outstanding, so completing at
+the copy frees one of its entries a refresh earlier and a frame that runs past
+one refresh can still make the next latch; WindowServer may then run up to one
+frame further ahead. `1` completes at every copy, `2` only while WindowServer
+is late (for `--present-early-hold-ms`, default 2000, after each late frame),
+`0` only measures. Every mode adds one `AdrenoDisplay: perf done` line per perf

+WindowServer's arrivals after each tick and of each late frame's lateness. It
