Yeah I think this looks mostly reasonable. Some api design comments on top
of Andrzej', with the fair warning that I didn't bother to read up on how
it's all used in the end. I probably should go and do that, at least to
get a feeling for what your hpd_cb usually does.

Yeah also not a huge fan of these bitmasks. Smells like
DRIVER_GEM|DRIVER_MODESET, and I personally really hate those. Easy to
add, generally good excuse to not have to think through the design between
different parts of drivers - "just" add another flag.

Yeah I like this more. The other problem here is, what if you need more
than 1 callback registers on the same bridge hdp signal?

So this isn't quite what I had in mind. Instead something like this:

	/* iterates over all bridges in the chain containing @bridge */
	for_each_bridge(tmp_bridge, bridge) {
		if (tmp_bridge == bridge)
			continue;
		if (bridge->hpd_notify);
			bridge->hpd_notify(tmp_bridge, bridge, status);
	}

	encoder = encoder_for_bridge(bridge);
	if (encoder->helper_private->bridge_hpd_notify)
		encoder->helper_private->bridge_hpd_notify(encoder, bridge, status);

	dev = bridge->dev
	if (dev->mode_config.helper_private->bridge_hpd_notify)
		dev->mode_config.helper_private->bridge_hpd_notify(dev, bridge, status)

No register callback needed, no locking needed, everyone gets exactly the
hpd they want/need.

Plan B): ditch ->get_edid, require that the driver has ->get_modes in that
case, and require that if it has an edid it must fill out connector->info
and connector->edid correctly.

Btw if a hpd happens, who's responible for making sure the edid/mode list
in the connector is up-to-date? With your current callback design that's
up to the callback, which doesn't feel great. Maybe  drm_bridge_hpd_notify
should guarantee that it'll first walk the connectors to update status and
edid/mode list for the final drm_connector. And then instead of just
passing the simple "status", it'll pass the connector, with everything
correctly updated.

Otherwise everyone interested in that hpd signal will go and re-fetch the
edid, which is not so awesome :-)
