If you're introducing local variables just for logging, I would prefer
it to be i915.

	struct drm_i915_private *i915 = to_i915(intel_dig_port->base.base.dev);

	...

	drm_dbg_kms(&i915->drm, ...);

If you look at dp_to_i915() it actually converts intel_dp back to
intel_digital_port, and then does the above to it, to get at i915. This
is an unnecessary dance.

It's fine to use &dp_to_i915(intel_dp)->drm when there are only a couple
of logging calls in a function, and intel_dp is already there. But any
more than that, and I'd add the i915 local variable. For example, but
not limited to, intel_dp_handle_test_request() would benefit from i915
local var.

BR,
Jani.
