Thanks, I guess I need to rebase these patches atop the current tree!

Looking at how these flags are used in the current tree, I see that the
connector's display_info structure (that contains the bus flags) is
retreived from tcon->panel.

Would it make sense to change this and retreive it from the encoder,
passed as argument to that function (as I've done in this patch)
instead? This way, this wouldn't only apply to panels, but also to
external bridges. It would also somewhat streamline the logic.

What do you think?

Cheers,

Paul
