[PATCH RFC v2 0/3] Add a drm_aux-dev module.

Second attempt at implementing a module that allows reading/writing arbitrary
dpcd registers. Changes to this version:
	- lseek is used to select the register to read/write;
	- read/write are used instead of ioctl;
	- no blocking_notifier is used, just a direct callback.

One thing to notice is that I am not updating the file offset during read or
write, which is kind of breaking the filesystem abstraction. But i2c-dev
doesn't do it either, so I assumed it's fine.

Rafael Antognolli (3):
  drm/dp: Keep a list of drm_dp_aux helper.
  drm/dp: Store the drm_connector device pointer on the helper.
  drm/dp: Add a drm_aux-dev module for reading/writing dpcd registers.
