We did - but sometimes you don't see the wood for the trees.

I remember we did find this, but did not understand that it should be initialized by dw-hdmi.
And because we though that dw-hdmi has it its own connector, it is ok that way.

Well, we were still at 5.14 when we did these initial attempts to use hdmi-connector with synopsys.
Back then, there was no dw_hdmi_parse_dt and no output_port.

IAW: we did not even have a chance to make it work on top of 5.14 the hdmi-connector way. And were sucessful.

I just noticed this when trying to backport the last puzzle piece...

Well, it is always difficult to hit a moving target.

Anyways it works now for 5.14.8 (our internal test) and 5.15-rc3.

And v4 of the jz4780 hdmi stuff will follow.

BR and thanks,
