I know this comment comes late to the party, but I'm a slightly
suprised to see the above instead of implementing drm_connector_init
in terms of drm_connector_init_with_ddc, as we typically do.
Namely, something along these lines (code might not even build!):

Hi
I think this echoes my concern about the implicit order of operation. It
seems too easy to get this wrong. If you don't want to add an additional
interface for setting the ddc field, why not add a dedicated initializer
function that sets the ddc field? Something like this.
int drm_connector_init_with_ddc(connector, funcs, ..., ddc)
{
ret = drm_connector_init(connector, funcs, ...);
if (ret)
return ret;
if (!ddc)
return 0;
connector->ddc = ddc;
/* set up sysfs */
return 0;
}
True. I will send a v5 soon.
Thanks,
Andrzej

I think this echoes my concern about the implicit order of operation. It
seems too easy to get this wrong. If you don't want to add an additional
interface for setting the ddc field, why not add a dedicated initializer
function that sets the ddc field? Something like this.
int drm_connector_init_with_ddc(connector, funcs, ..., ddc)
{
ret = drm_connector_init(connector, funcs, ...);
if (ret)
return ret;
if (!ddc)
return 0;
connector->ddc = ddc;
/* set up sysfs */
return 0;
}

What is your actual concern? My concern is that drm_connector_init() maybe sometime in the future will init all fileds in drm_connector, so we loose any assingments done to drm_connector from *before* we called the init function. Moving the assignment to after drm_connector_init() would not let us depend on the actual implmentation of drm_connector_init().
