Hi

A lot of the various HDMI drivers duplicate some logic that depends on
the HDMI spec itself and not really a particular hardware
implementation.

Output BPC or format selection, infoframe generation are good examples
of such areas.

This creates a lot of boilerplate, with a lot of variations, which makes
it hard for userspace to rely on, and makes it difficult to get it right
for drivers.

In the next patches, we'll add a lot of infrastructure around the
drm_connector and drm_connector_state structures, which will allow to
abstract away the duplicated logic. This infrastructure comes with a few
requirements though, and thus we need a new initialization function.

Hopefully, this will make drivers simpler to handle, and their behaviour
more consistent.

I know I'm late to the review.

Wouldn't it be better to make a separate HDMI-setup helper instead of yet another init function? The type of init function to use is mostly about memory management within the driver, while the new HDMI state is about features.

Maybe rather add something like drm_connector_init_hdmi_state(), which takes an initialized connector and sets all the values coming the other patches. Drivers would not have to subscribe to a certain way of memory management. AFAICT this would also allow to protect the helper and the new drm_connector.hdmi field behind DRM_DISPLAY_HDMI_STATE_HELPER. Best regards Thomas
