[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 0/7] Add lspcon support

[Sharma, Shashank]

Hi Daniel, Ville, 
I reviewed Ville's code for dp++ adaptors, and as Ville rightly mentioned, a lot of the code can be reused for LSPCON as it is, as LSPCON is also working as a type2 DP adaptor. 
I need to add i2c-over-aux functionality, and then LSPCON will become one of the consumers of this code. 

How should we proceed on this?
- Should I pull those patches, and re-publish in intel-gfx, get the review done, and then write LSPCON layer on top of it ? 
- Or Should I publish DP++ and modified LSPCON together ?

Please suggest. 

Regards
Shashank

Please try to review Ville's patches either way using the DP specs, so that we can pull it in. You have to read it carefully anyway to figure out whether it matches lspcon well enough, so might as well use that time ;-)

Thanks, Daniel
