We agreed that rework would follow up in a timely manner if these 
patches are applied. However a comment would be still a good thing.

I think it's too verbose and a bit incorrect.
This is a bit saner:
/*
  * These ops do not make sense for eDP, since they are provided
  * by the panel-bridge corresponding to the attached eDP panel.
  */

My question was whether we really need to disable them for eDP since for 
eDP the detect and and get_modes will be overridden anyway.
