Oh sure, plus lots of connectors where there's just not ddc bus at all. But if we only roll this out for a handful of drivers it's also not great, that's what I meant. Looking at $ git grep drm_do_get_edid there's only very few drivers where the ddc bus is hidden. There's a lot more where it's not, and I think a big series to tackle those would serve extremely well to make a case for this sysfs link. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
