This structure is documented by kernel-doc, but you didn't add your new member.

Optionally you could skip the "else". HPD enabled is the default state
and, in general, we don't exhaustively init all registers and rely on
the power-on defaults for ones we don't explicitly control.

I would have expected that you would have used the interrupt signal,
but I guess it just polls in this case. I suppose polling has the
advantage that it's simpler... Maybe throw in a comment about why IRQ
isn't being used?

Checking for "no_hpd" here is not the right test IIUC. You want to
check for eDP vs. DP (AKA whether a panel is downstream of you or a
connector). Specifically if downstream of you is a panel then (I
believe) HPD won't assert until you turn on the panel and you won't
turn on the panel (which happens in pre_enable, right?) until HPD
fires, so you've got a chicken-and-egg problem. If downstream of you
is a connector, though, then by definition HPD has to just work
without pre_enable running so then you're OK.

I guess then you'd need to figure out what to do if someone wants to
use "HPD" on eDP. Do you need to put a polling loop in pre_enable
then? Or you could just punt not support this case until someone needs
it.

IMO somewhere in here if HPD is being used like this you should throw
in a call to pm_runtime_get_sync(). I guess in your solution the
regulators (for the bridge, not the panel) and enable pin are just
left on all the time, but plausibly someone might want to build a
system to use HPD and also have the enable pin and/or regulators
controlled by this driver, right?
