I'm curious: how is a DP AUX adapter reference count going to solve the issue of potentially registering devices too early (i.e. before the DRM is registered)? Is it because registering too early could cause a reference count problem if somebody get a hold of the DP AUX adapter before the parent DRM device is around? Thierry
