As talked about in this patch in the kerneldoc of of_dp_aux_populate_ep_device() and also in the past in commit a1e3667a9835 ("drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi86: Promote the AUX channel to its own sub-dev"), it can be difficult for eDP controller drivers to know when the panel has finished probing when they're using of_dp_aux_populate_ep_devices().

The ti-sn65dsi86 driver managed to solve this because it was already broken up into a bunch of sub-drivers. That means we could solve the problem there by adding a new sub-driver to get the panel. We could use the traditional -EPROBE_DEFER retry mechansim to handle the case where the panel hadn't probed yet.

In parade-ps8640 we didn't really solve this. The code just expects the panel to be ready right away. While reviewing the code originally I had managed to convince myself it was fine to just expect the panel right away, but additional testing has shown that not to be the case. We could fix parade-ps8640 like we did ti-sn65dsi86 but it's pretty cumbersome (since we're not already broken into multiple drivers) and requires a bunch of boilerplate code.

After discussion [1] it seems like the best solution for most people is:

• Accept that there's always at most one device that will probe as a result of the DP AUX bus (it may have sub-devices, but there will be one device _directly_ probed).
• When that device finishes probing, we can just have a call back.

This patch implements that idea. We'll now take a callback as an argument to the populate function. To make this easier to land in pieces, we'll make wrappers for the old functions. The functions with the new name (which make it clear that we only have one child) will take the callback and the functions with the old name will temporarily wrap.

This patch also includes in a few tiny fixes that I noticed while working on the code. Specifically:

• We had forgotten a EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL on the non "devm" populate function.

This can go to a separate patch, so that the fix can be backported to earlier kernels. Please don't forget the Fixes: tag.

• The kerneldoc of dp_aux_ep_dev_release() had incorrectly included a "Returns" clause.

Changes in v2:

• Change to assume exactly one device.

• Have a probe callback instead of an extra sub device.

Small note about the name. What if we change that to something more future-proof? Something like of_dp_aux_depopulate_bus() (and similarly rename other calls)?

I see your point here (and that it makes code simpler). However I'm a little bit uneasy here. What if code this more explicitly in the drivers? Like the following:

if (!dev_has_aux_bus()) { ret = panel_ready(....); } else { ... ret = of_dp_aux_populate_ep_device(dp_aux, panel_ready); ....; }

This way you won't have to worry about the EPROBE_DEFER. Or you'd rather forbid it explicitly. Why? Consider the following scenario:

dp_driver_probe() /* This creates new devices */ done_probing returns -EPROBE_DEFER /* device registration is unwound */ dp_driver_probe returns -EPROBE_DEFER

However as the state of devices was chagned, the dp_driver_probe() can be called again and again, ending up with the the same probe loop that we are trying to solve.
