Personally, I think _i2c_ is better name than _ddc_. Because It seems that the Display Data Channel is comes from VESA standard, while aspeed I2C can
be used to configure the external display bridges(encoder). So _i2c_ is a
*abstract* name, and can be utilized to do something else beyond the DDC
itself.

This specific instance of i2c is for DDC; even the AST manual refers to it as DDC. I don't think there's anything else we could do with those registers. If we have other uses for i2c, we can easily add them in separate code.

Thanks for reviewing the series. I think the new helper in patch 12 could be useful for loongson [1][2] as well.

Best regards
Thomas
