[PATCH 1/2] drm/scdc-helper: Add scdc_status debugfs entry

From: Nicolas Frattaroli

Date: Wed Apr 15 2026 - 11:58:36 EST


SCDC provides status information on the current display link. At the
very least, it may be useful to expose this info through debugfs.

Add a debugfs entry for it under the connector, which displays a few
more details parsed out of the SCDC registers. A new
drm_scdc_debugfs_init function can be called by the connector
implementation to initialise the debugfs file.
