[PATCH v5 2/4] drm/dp: Add helper to validate DP lane counts
From: Damon Ding
Date: Thu Jun 04 2026 - 05:10:45 EST
Add a generic helper function drm_dp_lane_count_is_valid() to check
if a DisplayPort lane count is valid. According to the DP specification,
only 1, 2, or 4 lanes are supported.
This helper avoids duplicating DP lane count validation logic across
individual DisplayPort drivers.
