[PATCH v1 2/4] drm/bridge: dw-hdmi: Allow &dw_hdmi_plat_data.output_port = 0 without DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR

From: Damon Ding

Date: Fri Apr 03 2026 - 03:07:27 EST


In the previous commit, Luca split the dw-hdmi attach process into two
cases:

A. hdmi->plat_data->output_port = 0:
the HDMI output (port@1) in device tree is not used

B. hdmi->plat_data->output_port = 1:
the HDMI output (port@1) is parsed to find the next bridge

For Rockchip, many older platforms (RK3288, RK3399, etc.) only support
case A by default. They can support DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR flag
after adapting to the bridge connector helper. Relax this constraint in
preparation for Rockchip dw-hdmi bridge-connector adaptation.
