Actually you added support for APUs as well.  In amdgpu, there are two
sets of modesetting code, an older less featured version
(amd/amdgpu/dce*.c) and the newer more featured code (amd/display/*).
Newer asics (vega and raven) are only supported by DC.  Older asics
are supported by both.  Eventually we'd like to remove the older
modesetting code.  I'm not really a CEC expert, but the patches look
pretty straight forward to me.  Series is:
