Ok, I'll migrate to dt then. I didn't realize platform_data were depreciated.

Angelo wants the MAX_LINRATE and MAX_LANES defines to be configurable.
I imagined platform_data would be more appropriate as (per my understanding) the
limitation is associated with a specific SoC.

After discussing a while with Mediatek, it appears that hot plug detection
needs to be handled even for eDP... (which is always connected).
So I'll revert to the split I made earlier in v8 where hot plug detection was
part of the eDP patch the addition of the External display port was a
trivial patch [1].

Thx for looking into this for me.
Not sure runtime_pm works here as it would only refcount if compiled
with CONFIG_PM?
I'd rather use the enabled field as a refcounter instead of a boolean.

Unless I'm totally missing your point?

Thx,
Guillaume.
