This series implement support to a drm_dp_aux chardev that allows reading and writing an arbitrary amount of bytes to arbitrary dpcd register addresses using regular read, write and lseek operations.
v2: - lseek is used to select the register to read/write - read/write are used instead of ioctl - no blocking_notifier is used, just a direct callback
v3: - use drm_dp_aux_dev prefix for public functions - chardev is named drm_dp_auxN - read/write don't allocate a buffer anymore, and transfer up to 16 bytes a time - remove notifier list from the implementation - option on menuconfig is now a boolean - add inline stub functions to avoid breakage when this option is disabled
Rafael Antognolli (2): drm/dp: Store the drm_connector device pointer on the helper. drm/dp: Add a drm_aux-dev module for reading/writing dpcd registers.
