Hi Jacopo,

Thank you for the patch.

It's already dynamic. We support dynamic routing of the DPAD (RGB) output on 
Gen2. On Gen3 all the SoCs supported so far could only route one CRTC to the 
DPAD output, so the routing wasn't very dynamic, but the register still had to 
be programmed accordingly. This patch reuses the existing dynamic routing that 
we use on Gen2 for Gen3.

Your analysis of the code flow is right. The reason why we don't write DEFR8 
directly is that changes to the register only take effect when the group is 
disabled (lovely hardware design, isn't it ?). The driver relies on the fact 
that changing the routing involves disabling and enabling CRTCs, but the 
mechanism is fragile, and it might even be buggy.

The RGB output on D3 and E3 isn't officially supported by this patch series, 
so I already plan to revisit the code later and hopefully clean it.
