Hi Jani, 

We cannot disable any port as we might use all the ports for display. 
And yes, we fake the DP to use EDP panel. 

Hi Nuhairi, please correct me if I'm wrong. 

Best regard 

Mustamin

Why not just disable port A in the guest VBT?

Or are you saying that host eDP can't be used by guest unless we fake the same 
port as DP? Or what are you trying to say?
