I'm also only a part-time drm meddler, so things may be inaccurate.
This conditional is not meant to prevent the registration of the dp connector,
only delay it for non-exynos drms. The connector registration does publish it
to userspace, so like i.MX we're doing that for all connectors at the same
time after all components are bound - to also make x11 happy. Exynos on the
other hand seems to register its connectors individually and I'm not sure if
they would be willing to change that.
see d3007dabeff4 ("drm/rockchip: register all connectors after bind") or
simply rockchip_drm_drv.c line 178.
and e355e7dd607b ("imx-drm: delay publishing sysfs connector entries")
