p.s.

Info such as the orientation and the number of dp-lanes is now passed
to the drm_connector_oob_hotplug_event() function as requested in the
review of the old code, but nothing is done with it for now.
Using this info falls well outside of my knowledge of the i915 driver
so this is left to a follow-up patch (I will be available to test
patches for this).

Regards,

Hans
