If you guys ask about my color choices I have to admit that I'm not a huge
fan of intel_display_port_power_domain. In roughly object-oriented code
functions with giant switch statements which use the object class to
decide what to do tend to be a red flag ...

In case you care for a reference see the switch statement code smell in
Martin Fowler's refactoring.

But that was just my bikeshed, tbh I don't care strongly enough here.
