Hi Andy,

Please trim the context in your answers to the relevant parts, it makes
it easier to find the things you said.

There is no vcstate->output_if in mainline currently. Ok, we could add
that. The other thing is that there are multiple HDMI interfaces and
the id of the HDMI encoder is encoded into output_if. Downstream kernel
adds OF aliases to the HDMI ports. I didn't want to go that route
because it doesn't seem to be very elegant to me.

The current rockchip drm driver seems to be pretty much tied to device
tree. There are probably many other places that need parallel paths for
ACPI support, I think we can delay this particular part until we see the
whole picture. In the end we can still retrieve the output_if
information differently with ACPI while still retrieving the information
from the device tree the way we are doing currently.
