How does the chip know when to enable/disable itself? Does it shutoff
itself if there isn't anything on the HDMI link?

You should ideally have one DP connector at the end of the chain:

	- MTK HDMI bridge/encoder
             - ANX7688 bridge
                - Connector (DP)

In the dt-bindings for this board, hdmi's output port shouldn't be
connected to a hdmi connector, but the input port of the ANX7688
DP bridge. The output port of the bridge should be the one that
connects to the DP connector.

One way I can think of fixing this is to make make the MTK hdmi
encoder driver a bit smarter by observing the DT connections. If
it's output port is connected to just a hdmi-connector, then
things should be as before. If the output is connected to the DP
bridge, then it should create a DP connector. The connector ops
for the DP connector can still be the same as that of the HDMI
connector before, but the phandle to the DDC bus would be in the
DP device node in this case.

This way, you can get around having the correct layout.

Ideally, a bridge driver shouldn't be the one that creates a
connector. It may contain some of the connector functionality, but
the connector creation should be managed by the kms driver.
Almost all bridge drivers creating a connector in their .attach
callbacks since they own some of the connector functionality (like
reading EDID). That's something we're trying to fix by providing
some more bridge api that kms drivers can use.

Since this bridge driver doesn't have any connector functionality
anyway, you should be okay.

I'm not clear about this either. Some drivers set a bus format
on the connector via drm_display_info_set_bus_formats in their
get_modes connector op, and then retrieve it later.

It might make sense to use a u32 or long or something here to prevent
risk of overflow.

Who programmed these registers in the first place? Is the lane count
some sort of reset value? Or is it something that changes dynamically?
