It might be worth mentioning "after the cut" that we may eventually
end up changing the rules if people like my proposal [1]. However,
what your code is doing here for eDP is correct as things are
currently intended to work and it would make sense to land it while we
debate about whether we want to add the is_hpd_asserted() callback
like my patch does.

Kinda nitty, but can you put it next to the other booleans? This will
help with structure packing.

nit: I think indentation rules for this file are that the type of the
argument for the 2nd line should line up right under the 1st. Thus you
should delete one tab character and insert 6 spaces before the "bool".

Similar in other places, like your header file.


Stuff above is all nits and this looks right to me. I'm happy with:
