So this is an improvement in the sense that xe core doesn't poke at
display data directly to print the info.

However, I still think the interface between xe (or i915) core and
display should be minimal. I don't see why we'd need to add a function
at the top level probe to print display stuff... the display code should
do it internally, in some other high level probe call, when it's done.

Even having the function adds complexity, because the call site now
needs to be aware about display probe order, and ensure it's all done
before you can safely and accurately print display info. And that's
display code implementation details.

Superficially this is all benign, but this stuff adds up. We've been
trying to untangle i915 core and display for a long time, and the i915
probe is still a huge mess, with a bunch of random calls to display at
random times, and there seems to be no end to this. It's all so
intertwined.

Perhaps in the future all of the calls need to go through a framework,
maybe aux bus. Do we really want to put all of this to that interface?

So the direction should be to reduce and minimize the interfaces between
the high level components, not add more.


BR,
Jani.
