[PATCH RFC 1/3] drm/display/dp: Export function to wake the sink AUX_CH
From: Arun R Murthy
Date: Mon Mar 09 2026 - 03:33:09 EST
On a native AUX_CH transaction timeout, as per Spec 2.1 Section 2.3.4
says that if the AUX Reply Timeout timer timesout, DPTX can rety for 3
times because the No Reply may be due to the DPRX waking up from
power-saving state.
Export a function to wake the DP sink AUX_CH.
