Yup, agreed on that. Semi-random other idea: What about introducing a new
->probe helper callback on connectors which would essentially entai all
the things you want to change? I.e. what's currently done with ->detect
plus connector status forcing, and the ->get_modes vs. edid override
stuff?

Step 1 would be to have a default implementation that does exactly the
same thing. Plus reworking the hdp and poll helpers to prefer ->probe over
just calling ->detect. Although for hpd I'm not sure whether using the
same callback is a good idea really, at least in i915 we have a separate
->hpd callback for DP. And it needs it.

And then we can try to figure out how to re-split responsibilities between
drivers and helpers (and maybe try to stuff parts of it into specialized
helpers, e.g. for DP).
