I don't think the orientation is relevant. It will always be "normal"
from DP PoW after muxing, no?
I'm also not sure those deatils are enough in the long run. Based on
what I've understood from our graphics team guys, for example knowing
if multi-function is preferred may be important in some cases.
+Imre.
All of that, and more, is already available in the Configuration VDO
Status VDO that the we have negotiated with the DP partner. Both those
VDOs are part of struct typec_displayport_data. I think we should
simply supply that structure to the DRM code instead of picking those
details out of it...

So I would not try to generalise this like that. This callback should
be USB Type-C DP altmode specific:
void (*oob_hotplug_event)(struct drm_connector *connector,
struct typec_displayport_data *data);
Or like this if the orientation can really be reversed after muxing:
void (*oob_hotplug_event)(struct drm_connector *connector,
struct typec_altmode *altmode,
struct typec_displayport_data *data);
You can now check the orientation separately with
typec_altmode_get_orientation() if necessary.
thanks,
