Hi Rafael,

WTF? I posted a patch in August which does exactly that:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2015-August/088172.html

Can also be pulled in from this git repo:
https://github.com/l1k/linux/commit/b78b38d53fc0fc4fa0f6acf699b0fcad56ec1fe6

My patch has the advantage that it updates all the drivers which use
drm_dp_aux to fill that attribute. Yours only updates i915.

Daniel Vetter criticized storing a drm_connector pointer in drm_dp_aux,
quote:

"That will also clear up the confusion with drm_dp_aux, adding a
drm_connector there feels wrong since not every dp_aux line has a
connector (e.g. for dp mst). If we can lift this relation out into drivers
(where this is known) that seems cleaner."

So now Intel itself does precisely what Daniel criticized? Confusing!
