Hi Angelo,
Sorry for the late answer.

I have reworked this for V2, to use an hdmi connector device node to "bind"
both the hdmi and hdmi-ddc driver together as with "legacy" code.
So this patch is dropped in V2 (hopefully ready soon).

Just to make things clear, the hardware path on mt8195 is:
DPI1 -> HDMI Tx -> HDMI Phy
DP Intf1 -> DP Tx -> USB Type C Mux -> DP over USB-C

So there's no HDMI->DP converter involved.

Thx,
Guillaume.
