I only considered checking for the Chrome case, where the output isn't
modelled and we have to rely on the internal HPD logic. Checking that
next_bridge is present and will deliver us hpd events sounds somewhat
reasonable.

But if I understand the code correctly, panel-edp isn't handing us hpd
events - and we still don't want the internal HPD logic to trigger. So I
presume I would need to check that this isn't a EDP controller and that
we're going to get external HPD events?

If so, clean you please give me some pointer on how to check if
next_bridge will provide us with hpd signaling or not?


PS. Which dummy bridge do you have in mind?

The drm_bridge_connector_init() call in dp_drm_connector_init() does
this for us already.
