Hi,
I'm glad to see this work moving forward!

I know this comment comes late to the party, but I'm a slightly
suprised to see the above instead of implementing drm_connector_init
in terms of drm_connector_init_with_ddc, as we typically do.
Namely, something along these lines (code might not even build!):

This might be seen as bikeshed but it seems there's value keeping all the init
code in the same place, as opposed to scattered.
Unless there are reasons for the current code, that I'm missing?
Thanks,
