Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your reply.
Currently I am using connector type 'Unknown' , and functionally it serves my 
need.
Intention for sending this patch is that userspace tools should recognize SDI 
drivers as SDI only.
Also, I see there are number of 'SDI' drivers getting developed 'under the 
hood' in linux kernel.
This patch will benefit all of them.

It will be great if you could consider it.

Regards,
Saurabh

This is an uapi change, i.e. userspace needs to be updated. Do you _really_ 
need this? I'd recommend to just use something existing (go with VIRTUAL maybe, 
not sure).

Either way, needs to come together with the actual users and userspace side 
patches. If you really want this.
