Note that if your panel doesn't signal HPD you're supposed to poll the sink to make sure you catch loss of link integrity. I've always found it odd that people would want to save a couple of bucks on the HPD signal conductor when that means that you will consume more power because you need to periodically poll the link for integrity. > >>>Are there any eDP panels which don't have EDID and need panel details in > >>>DT? > >> > >>Oh, I think you want to collect some info that belong to panel > >>property but no indicate in panel EDID message, so those can > >>be collect in eDP connector binding, is it right ? > >Yes, and as Thierry pointed out we may need to know the exact panel even. > > Yeah, just like I reply to Thierry, this is a panel quirk.

So if your variant doesn't have the HPD line, we're dealing with quirks within the same family of panels. That would make this some sort of quirk, and I'm not sure if there is a standard way for defining quirks in DT. Rob, do you know of any precedent for this? I suppose we could always add a variant-specific compatible string that would allow this quirk to be encoded in the driver, though I'm not sure if the model string in datasheets has enough detail to tell them apart.
