I simulated the display path mentioned above on my RK3588S EVB1 Board.
To my slight surprise, it displayed normally with the reported connector
type DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_LVDS. ;-)
The modifications included:
1.Synchronized the Analogix DP ralated DT configurations with Samsung
Snow Chromebook.
2.Skipped the I2C transfers and GPIO operations in nxp-ptn3460 driver.
3.Set the EDID to that of eDP Panel LP079QX1-SP0V forcibly.
Additionally, I added debug logs to verify whether the functions in
ptn3460_bridge_funcs were actually called.
Did you encounter any unexpected logs during your investigation? I'd
like to perform additional tests on this issue. :-)
Best regards,
Damon
