If you were using it for DP, you would need a DT node for the DP connector (with bindings to be added to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/connector/, similar to the ones we already have for other connectors). That DT node should reference the HPD pin GPIO. The bridge driver for the connector (drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/display-connector.c) would then handle HPD.

Bridge drivers should only implement support for features available from the corresponding hardware. If an HPD signal is connected to a dedicated pin of the bridge, and the bridge can generate an interrupt and expose the HPD status through I2C, then it should implement HPD-related operations. If the HPD pin from the connector is hooked up to a GPIO of the SoC, it should be handled by the connector bridge driver. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
