If I understand correctly, this chip can work in two modes: dummy and I2C-programmed. In the former case it is fully transparent, including HPD passthrough, it doesn't require any additional programming, just Vcc, Vdd and pin straps, etc. And the second mode is a 'brainy' one, when the chip is fully controlled over I2C. >From the Linux standpoint these two modes will use single compat string, but two distinct drivers: for the former mode is is enough to use simple-bridge (fixed to support two supplies), while the latter one needs a proper I2C driver. Does that solve your concern? -- With best wishes Dmitry
