Did you look into also wiring this up for dp mst chains?
Isn't this sufficient? I have no way of testing mst chains.

I think I need some pointers from you, since I am a complete
newbie when it
comes to mst.
I don't really have more clue, but yeah if you don't have an mst
thing (a
simple dp port multiplexer is what I use for testing here, then
plug in a
converter dongle or cable into that) then probably better to not
wire up
the code for it.
I think my NUC already uses mst internally. But I was planning on
buying a
dp multiplexer to make sure there is nothing special I need to do
for mst.

The CEC Tunneling is all in the branch device, so if I understand
things
correctly it is not affected by mst.

BTW, I did a bit more testing on my NUC7i5BNK: for the HDMI output
they
use a MegaChip MCDP2800 DP-to-HDMI converter which according to their
datasheet is supposed to implement CEC Tunneling, but if they do
it is not
exposed as a capability. I'm not sure if it is a MegaChip firmware
issue
or something else. The BIOS is able to do some CEC, but whether
they hook
into the MegaChip or have the CEC pin connected to a GPIO or
something and
have their own controller is something I do not know.

If anyone can clarify what Intel did on the NUC, then that would
be very
helpful.
It's called LSPCON, see i915/intel_lspcon.c, basically to support HDMI 2.0. Currently we only use it in PCON mode, shows up as DP for us. It could be used in LS mode, showing up as HDMI 1.4, but we don't support
that in i915.

I don't know about the CEC on that.

My NUC6i7KYK has the MCDP2850 LSPCON and it does support CEC over Aux. The release notes for the NUC state that there is a BIOS configuration option for enabling support. My doesn't have the option but the LSPCON
fully supports CEC.

What is the output of:

dd if=/dev/drm_dp_aux0 of=aux0 skip=12288 ibs=1 count=48
od -t x1 aux0

Assuming drm_dp_aux0 is the aux channel for the HDMI output on your NUC.

If the first byte is != 0x00, then it advertises CEC over Aux.

For me it says 0x00.

When you say "it does support CEC over Aux", does that mean you have
actually
tested it somehow? The only working solution I have seen mentioned
for the
NUC6i7KYK is a Pulse-Eight adapter.

With the NUC7i Intel made BIOS support for CEC, but it is not at all
clear to me if they used CEC tunneling or just hooked up the CEC pin to
some microcontroller.

The only working chipset I have seen is the Parade PS176.

If it really is working on your NUC, then can you add the output of
/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_display_info?

[root@localhost cec-ctl]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_display_info


Connector info
--------------
connector 48: type DP-1, status: connected
      name:
      physical dimensions: 700x400mm
      subpixel order: Unknown
      CEA rev: 3
      DPCD rev: 12
      audio support: yes
      DP branch device present: yes
          Type: HDMI
          ID: 175IB0
          HW: 1.0
          SW: 7.32

Huh. Based on this document:

https://downloadmirror.intel.com/26061/eng/NUC6i7KYK%20HDMI%202.0%20Firmware%20update%20Instructions.pdf

this is the internal DP-to-HDMI adapter and it has the PS175. So it is a
Parade chipset, and I have seen that work before (at least the PS176).
This is the PS175 LSPCON on the NUC6.

<snip>

connector 55: type DP-2, status: connected
      name:
      physical dimensions: 620x340mm
      subpixel order: Unknown
      CEA rev: 3
      DPCD rev: 12
      audio support: yes
      DP branch device present: yes
          Type: HDMI
          ID: BCTRC0
          HW: 2.0
          SW: 0.26

And is this from a USB-C to HDMI adapter? Which one? I don't recognize the ID.

This is a LSPCON inside the Google USB-C->HDMI dongle. This is actually a MC2850 with what appears to be a custom ID. Datasheet claims CEC over Aux and the pin is wired, but FW has it currently disabled.

For the record, this is the internal HDMI output of my NUC7i5BNK:

connector 48: type DP-1, status: connected
        name:
        physical dimensions: 1050x590mm
        subpixel order: Unknown
        CEA rev: 3
        DPCD rev: 12
        audio support: yes
        DP branch device present: yes
                Type: HDMI
                ID: MC2800
                HW: 2.2
                SW: 1.66
                Max TMDS clock: 600000 kHz
                Max bpc: 16

Clearly a Megachip.
