Oh, you're right, if it's a cable quirk, then DT property would be okay, 
if it
is a problem of panel, then maybe hard-code in driver would be better.

After look up for the document of panel "innolux,n116bge", I haven't see
any description of hot plug signal, and even not found in PIN ASSIGNMENT.
So I believe it's a panel problem, that's to say it should handle in 
panel driver.

Hmm... But I don't know how to cover the whole hpd situation in panel 
detect,
it looks complicate  *_*

And Russell have remind that DRM .force is another way to handle this one,
but I haven't understand it very well. I see we need make connector->force =
DRM_FORCE_ON, then we can enable eDP in connector->funcs->force(). But
I don't how to handle connector->force automatically without DT property,
could some guys help here    :-D

Thanks,
