I would say 'no-hpd' belongs wherever HPD is broken. So it may still make sense in the panel. (Otherwise, it needs to be removed from panel-common.yaml and some panel bindings, right?) > [1] https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200417180819.ge5...@pendragon.ideasonboard.com > > Signed-off-by: Douglas Anderson <diand...@chromium.org> > Reviewed-by: Stephen Boyd <swb...@chromium.org> > Reviewed-by: Linus Walleij <linus.wall...@linaro.org> > Reviewed-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinch...@ideasonboard.com> > --- In any case, Reviewed-by: Rob Herring <r...@kernel.org>
