Just because I can, doesn't mean I want to :)

Take the CDN DP driver in rockchip for example (posted yesterday).
There's a worker in the driver that is responsible for handling
hpd/extcon events from the USB-C port. Ideally, this worker should
just be a thin shell around a kms uevent that lets userspace know
there's been a change. Unfortunately since we need to make re-training
work (/me grumbles about productization) seamlessly, we need to add a
bunch of goo into the worker to handle re-training. Since we need to
handle re-training there and in modeset, we need to properly
synchronize things. So we end up with a bunch of code that doesn't
*really* need to be there.

So is the correct path forward to add GOOD/BAD connection handling to
Chrome/drm_hwc and rip re-training out of the various kernel drivers?
