[PATCH v4] drm/sysfs: Link DRM connectors to corresponding Type-C connectors

Won Chung wonchung at google.com
Tue Nov 8 18:50:04 UTC 2022


Create a symlink pointing to USB Type-C connector for DRM connectors
when they are created. The link will be created only if the firmware is
able to describe the connection beween the two connectors.

Currently, even if a display uses a USB Type-C port, there is no way for
the userspace to find which port is used for which display. With the
symlink, display information would be accessible from Type-C connectors
and port information would be accessible from DRM connectors.
Associating the two subsystems, userspace would have potential to expose
and utilize more complex information, such as bandwidth used for a
specific USB Type-C port.
