Just like we talk off line, I guess there are two tricky questions which 
make analogix_dp just crash/failed on rockchip platform:

-  One is how to reach a agreement with the common way to register 
connector. There would be a conflict with Exynos & IMX & Rockchip.
      On analogix_dp thread, Exynos want to register connector when that 
connector is ready.
      On dw_hdmi thread, IMX want to register connector when all 
component is already.
      So Exynos & IMX & Rockchip should reach a common way to register 
connector to fix this issue.

-  The other is atomic API.
       The rockchip drm haven't implemented the atomic API, but the 
original exynos_dp have used the atomic API on connector helper 
function. That's why analogix_dp just keep crash on your side.

I have prepared the v5 version, although those would work directly on 
rockchip side, but I could upload some HACK patches to gerrit  to make 
this works,  hope we can keep the discussion going forward.

Thanks,
