JFYI I haven't had a chance yet but I'm hoping to look at this this week

The primary goal of this series is to try to properly fix EDID reading for eDP panels using the ti-sn65dsi86 bridge.
Previously we had a patch that added EDID reading but it turned out not to work at bootup. This caused some extra churn at bootup as we tried (and failed) to read the EDID several times and also ended up forcing us to use the hardcoded mode at boot. With this patch series I believe EDID reading is reliable at boot now and we never use the hardcoded mode.
High level note: in this series the EDID reading is driven by the panel driver, not by the bridge chip driver. I believe this makes a reasonable amount of sense since the panel driver already _could_ drive reading the EDID if provided with the DDC bus and in future planned work we'll want to give the panel driver the DDC bus (to make decisions based on EDID) and the AUX bus (to control the backlight). There are also planned patches from Laurent to make ti-sn65dsi86 able to drive full DP monitors. In that case the bridge chip will still be in charge of reading the EDID, but it's not hard to make this dynamic.
This series is the logical successor to the 3-part series containing the patch ("drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi86: Properly get the EDID, but only if refclk") [1].
This patch was tested against drm-misc-next commit 60a6b73dd821 ("drm/ingenic: Fix pixclock rate for 24-bit serial panels") on a sc7180-trogdor-lazor device.
At v7 now, this patch series grew a bit from v6 because it introduces the DP AUX bus.
Between v2 and v3, high-level view of changes:
- stop doing the EDID caching in the core.
Between v3 and v4, high-level view of changes:
- EDID reading is actually driven by the panel driver now. See above.
- Lots of chicken-and-egg problems solved w/ sub-devices.
Between v4 and v5, high-level view of changes.
- Some of the early patches landed, so dropped from series.
- New pm_runtime_disable() fix (fixed a patch that already landed).
- Added Bjorn's tags to most patches
- Fixed problems when building as a module.
- Reordered debugfs patch and fixed error handling there.
- Dropped last patch. I'm not convinced it's safe w/out more work.
Between v5 and v6, high-level view of changes:
- Added the patch ("drm/dp: Allow an early call to register DDC i2c
bus")
- Many patches had been landed, so only a few "controversial" ones
left.
Between v6 and v7, high-level view of changes:
- New AUX DP bus!

Changes in v7:
- pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() fix new for v7.
- List hpd properties bindings patch new for v7.
- ti-sn65dsi86: Add aux-bus child patch new for v7.
- Patch introducing the DP AUX bus is new for v7.
- Patch to allow panel-simple to be DP AUX EP new for v7.
- Patch using the DP AUX for DDC new for v7.
- Remove use of now-dropped drm_dp_aux_register_ddc() call.
- Beefed up commit message in context of the DP AUX bus.
- Set the proper sub-device "dev" pointer in the AUX structure.
- Patch to support for DP AUX bus on ti-sn65dsi86 new for v7.
- Adjusted commit message to talk about DP AUX bus.
- Panel now under bridge chip instead of getting a link to ddc-i2c
Changes in v6:
- Use new drm_dp_aux_register_ddc() calls.
