[PATCH v5 2/6] drm/display: Add soft depend for aux-hpd-typec-dp-bridge module

From: Chaoyi Chen

Date: Wed Jul 29 2026 - 21:40:25 EST


From: Chaoyi Chen <chaoyi.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The aux-hpd-typec-dp-bridge module serves as a generic TypeC
DisplayPort HPD bridge and is not required by any other
module. Therefore, it will not be auto-loaded.

Given that the drm_display_helper module houses DisplayPort-related
helper code, add a MODULE_SOFTDEP() within it to suggest loading the
aux-hpd-typec-dp-bridge module beforehand.
