If fused pipes are AC or BD this will still give us 2. Perhaps should 
have a check for atleast 2 consecutive pipes from 
DISPLAY_RUNTIME_INFO(display)->pipe_mask

On the other hand we can have the consecutive pipe check in mode_valid() 
path after for_each_joiner_candidate() is called, which will check 
whether there exists any consecutive pair that can support joiner.

As discussed offline, in any case, we need to fix the compute_config() 
path for SST and MST where we are using the for_each_joiner_candidate() 
to check for a given primary, there exist sufficient consecutive pipes 
to support the joiner candidate.
