[PATCH RFC 00/12] Add support for DisplayPort link training information report

[Kory Maincent]

DisplayPort link training negotiates the physical-layer parameters needed
for a reliable connection: lane count, link rate, voltage swing,
pre-emphasis, and optionally Display Stream Compression (DSC). Currently,
each driver exposes this state in its own way, often through
driver-specific debugfs entries, with no standard interface for userspace
diagnostic and monitoring tools.

This series introduces a generic, DRM-managed framework for exposing DP
link training state as standard connector properties, modeled after the
existing HDMI helper drmm_connector_hdmi_init().

The new drmm_connector_dp_init() helper initializes a DP connector and
registers the following connector properties to expose the negotiated link
state to userspace:

- num_lanes:      negotiated lane count (1, 2 or 4)
- link_rate:      negotiated link rate
- dsc_en:         whether Display Stream Compression is active
- voltage_swingN: per-lane voltage swing level (lanes 0-3)
- pre_emphasisN:  per-lane pre-emphasis level (lanes 0-3)

Two runtime helpers update and clear these properties when link training
completes or the link goes down:
- drm_connector_dp_set_link_train_properties()
- drm_connector_dp_reset_link_train_properties()

Two drivers are updated as reference implementations: i915 (direct
connector path) and MediaTek (via the bridge connector framework using a
new DRM_BRIDGE_OP_DP flag). The i915 patches are preceded by a series of
conversions to DRM managed resources, which are required before adopting
drmm_connector_dp_init().

The MST case in i915 driver is not supported yet.

Patches 1-3:  Fix two error-path cleanup bugs in i915 sdvo and lvds
[Will probably be sent standalone]
Patches 4-8: Convert i915 display resources to DRM managed lifetime
Patch 9: Introduce the core drmm_connector_dp_init() framework
Patch 10: Wire the i915 DP connector to use the new helpers
Patch 11: Introduce DRM_BRIDGE_OP_DP and wire bridge connectors
Patch 12: Wire the MediaTek DP bridge to the new helpers [untested]
