From: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@xxxxxxxxx> A big problem with DP CEC-Tunneling-over-AUX is that it is tricky to find adapters with a chipset that supports this AND where the manufacturer actually connected the HDMI CEC line to the chipset. Add a mention of the MegaChips 2900 chipset which seems to support this feature well.
