No worries, thanks for digging in.

I'll get my branch back up and rebase on top of this and resume from
there. I can't remember all the details right now - so it will be
interesting to see how to handle the issues you've mentioned above - but
I think some of it is what I was trying to work on. (dealing with
getting the BPC at least..., so I don't know if I considered the issue
you reference about case of the driver not creating a connector).

I don't think I'll be able to resume my DRM work for more than a couple
of weeks now though so I'm going to be a bit longer. Hopefully your
patch here looks like it could be merged independently though.
