Ambiguity about powering the Touch Display #2977

@lurch

Description

@lurch

@jackbenwillis noticed that when connecting the Touch Display to a Raspberry Pi, you then have two micro-USB power-input sockets (one on the Pi, one on the Display) and https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/accessories/display.html doesn't explain which one you should use. He asked some engineers, and got told "you can use either, but because Pi 4 requires more power the official line should be to power the Pi not the touch display", so we should reflect that in the documentation.
