Hi, Krzysztof, thanks for reviewing, i want to explain why i submitted 
this patch. Patch 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250114-dts_qcs8300-v3-1-d114cc5e4af9@quicinc.com/ 
and 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250120-mdssdt_qcs8300-v4-2-1687e7842125@quicinc.com/ 
is the qcs8300 display enablement changes. It base on current linux base 
code and it only support SST mode, so in the SST mode, qcs8300 dp 
controller driver is quite same with sm8650, struct msm_dp_desc only 
have 3 members(io_start, id and wide_bus_supported) and they are same 
both in qcs8300 and sm8650, so we reuse it. BTW, for dp phy hardware 
version, qcs8300 and sm8650 is different.
For this patch series, 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250212-mst_qcs8300-v1-0-38a8aa08394b@quicinc.com/ 
, it is made on top of 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241205-dp_mst-v1-0-f8618d42a99a@quicinc.com/ 
which is a new feature for msm platform and not fully reviewed all the 
code. Currently patch series enable the MST feature for qcs8300, so the 
dp controller need to support stream 1, and we need add max_streams and 
intf_map in the struct msm_dp_desc to support MST. So we don't reuse the 
sm8650 drivers in this patch series.
For my understanding, qcs8300 SST changes should merge 
first(https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250114-dts_qcs8300-v3-0-d114cc5e4af9@quicinc.com/ 
and 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250120-mdssdt_qcs8300-v4-0-1687e7842125@quicinc.com/), 
and next is the MST base commits 
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241205-dp_mst-v1-0-f8618d42a99a@quicinc.com/), 
and this patch series should merge at last. why i post qcs8300 
enablement changes first and then post the MST changes instead of post 
them together? Because our dependency, i mean this patch series 
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241205-dp_mst-v1-0-f8618d42a99a@quicinc.com/), 
it has about 45 changes, so it might take lots of time to merge. we just 
want to make sure that display can work on DP SST mode first.
So I am just understand that the previous commit was not an incorrect 
commit, but rather two functionalities were changed in the same place.
Thanks,
Yongxing
