Ah, I guess this answers my question in the previous patch about
whether caching was important even for external displays since this
driver only supports external DP and the commit you mention in "Fixes"
says that caching was important.
So this looks reasonable. One thing I wonder is if you're totally
guaranteed to get a PM Runtime suspend whenever you get an unplug /
replug of a display. I tried to dig a little bit but I'm not super
familiar with this bridge and it looks complicated enough that I guess
I'll have to trust that it's fine. So...
