Great!

Looks like v4 will need to introduce a register indirection table for
the differences. Also need to add a table for the aux initial table
values and the calibration values for aux_cfg1. Seems like it won't be
too bad.

Does DP work with those patches with v4? You should make yourself the
author of commit d3c6da6f87eedb20ea1591aaae1ea4e63d7bd777 ;-)

Right. I've seen that behavior as well.

Right. I mentioned in the cover letter that this needs to hook into the
type-c subsystem somehow. I haven't done any of that work because I
don't have a configuration that is as dynamic. As long as the type-c
stuff can express my static configuration it will be fine. If you have
done any work there I'm happy to review the code and test it out on my
configuration.

The driver is setup for DP_MODE | USB3_MODE (i.e. concurrent mode) so it
is already hardcoded for the 2-lane use case that I have. If I didn't
connect two lanes from the phy to a USB hub I could support all the
different combinations but that isn't the case. On phones it is
basically the only case though because the pins from the usb3+dp phy go
straight to the type-c connector.

qcom_qmp_phy_com_init() is the only place I see the driver writing to it
and it is refcounted so basically the first phy to get initialized will
set things up in the common area. I suppose for supporting various use
cases like 4 lanes DP or 2 lanes DP and USB then that refcounting logic
will need to be changed. I'm not sure what is supposed to happen though.
I guess the USB host controller, i.e. dwc3, will have to know to stop
trying to use the phy and then power down and let the DP controller take
over the phy? It's a dance of three or four drivers.

Can you add these as inline review comments? Would help me understand
what you're talking about. Thanks for the review!
