The commit bb3de286d992have two problems,

1)  The below sc7280_dp_cfg will not work, if eDP use 
MSM_DP_CONTROLLER_2 instead of  MSM_DP_CONTROLLER_1

since it have num_descs =2 but eDP is at index 2 (CONTROLLER_2) which 
never be reached.

static const struct msm_dp_config sc7280_dp_cfg = {
         .descs = (const struct msm_dp_desc[]) {
                 [MSM_DP_CONTROLLER_2] = { .io_start = 0x0aea0000, 
.connector_type = DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_eDP, .wide_bus_en = true },
                 [MSM_DP_CONTROLLER_0] = { .io_start = 0x0ae90000, 
.connector_type = DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_DisplayPort, .wide_bus_en = true },
         },
         .num_descs = 2,
};

2)  DP always has index of 0 (dp->id = 0) and the first one to call 
msm_dp_modeset_init(). This make DP always place at head of bridge chain.

At next patch eDP must be placed at head of bridge chain to fix eDP 
corruption issue. This is the purpose of this patch. I will revise the 
commit text.
