Just so I understand correctly, you have a real dp-connector wired to
the Analogix dp-controller, and therefore want to connect actual
monitors to it.
So the problem you're trying to work around is probably that the
rockchip-driver of the analogix controller explictly expects a bridge
to be present during probe, right?
I think hacking up the panel-driver is not an ideal approach:
(1) bridges/panels do expect to stay connected all the time
and are meant for devices with actual hard-wired displays with specific
power-sequence requirements
(2) devicetree is expected to describe the real hardware, therefore the
dt should not describe one thing while the actual hardware is really
different
So, I guess a more ideal approach could perhaps be to:
(1) define a "dp-connector" devicetree binding, see
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/connector/hdmi-connector.txt
for a similar one
(2) steal an idea from drivers/gpu/drm/mediatek/mtk_hdmi.c and check
for that new compatible:
if (!of_device_is_compatible(remote, "hdmi-connector")) {
//move bridge handling here
}
and modify both the rockchip-part and the generic analogix bridge code
to work with the connector declared instead of a panel?
