Hence my comment above about that possibly not being the right variant.
Sort of asking for direction :-) .

I am working on top of Damon's drm-bridge-connector series as noted above,
but it looks like the detect function still is called at does then stuff.

My board is the rk3588-tiger-displayport-carrier [0], with a dp-connector
which is the next bridge, so _without_ any changes, the analogix-dp
always assumes "something" is connected and I end up with

[    9.869198] [drm:analogix_dp_bridge_atomic_enable] *ERROR* failed to get hpd single ret = -110
[    9.980422] [drm:analogix_dp_bridge_atomic_enable] *ERROR* failed to get hpd single ret = -110
[   10.091522] [drm:analogix_dp_bridge_atomic_enable] *ERROR* failed to get hpd single ret = -110
[   10.202419] [drm:analogix_dp_bridge_atomic_enable] *ERROR* failed to get hpd single ret = -110
[   10.313651] [drm:analogix_dp_bridge_atomic_enable] *ERROR* failed to get hpd single ret = -110

when no display is connected.

With this change I do get the expected hotplug behaviour, so something is
missing still even with the bridge-connector series.
