That's a bit difficult for the first part, as if the producer doesn't
notify of HPD events, consumers won't be able to get them :-) The second
part, consumers not having the callback, is already supported.

(On a side note, doing so is quite complex, and I understand why nobody
wants to really ditch the atomic helpers)

I agree with you on that.

I don't think that's a good idea, as more than one consumer may need to
process the event. A real life example with two consumers would be a CEC
controller part of a bridge needing to get informed about HDMI
plug/unplug to set the CEC address in the device (this notification is
handled through the bridge notification operation), and the display
driver needing to report HPD to the DRM core.

As I'm still not sure why you think I should replace the existing
implementation with your above proposal, so I'll keep the existing code
for the v2 that I will post soon until we complete this discussion.

To hopefully help with the discussion, I would like to repeat my main
argument : moving the dispatching of the notification to
drm_bridge_hpd_notify() sets the order in which components (bridges,
encoders, drivers) are notified in stone, while keeping it in the
drm_bridge_connector helper allows drivers to not use the helper and
come up with a different implementation that fits their needs better.
