[PATCH] soc: qcom: pmic_glink: fix connector type to be DisplayPort

[Dmitry Baryshkov]

As it was pointed out by Simon Ser, the DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_USB connector
is reserved for the GUD devices. Other drivers (i915, amdgpu) use
DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_DisplayPort even if the DP stream is handled by the
USB-C altmode. While we are still working on implementing the proper way
to let userspace know that the DP is wrapped into USB-C, change
connector type to be DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_DisplayPort.

I was just going to post a patch fixing this after finally investigating
why the DisplayPort outputs on the X13s were annoyingly identified as
"Unknown20-1" and "Unknown20-2" instead of the expected "DP-1" and
"DP-2".

A lore search just before posting led me to this fix from two weeks ago.

I think the commit message should have mentioned something about the how
this change affects user space. My patch also had a CC stable, but I
guess we can ping the stable team once it hits mainline:

commit e5f55bf5ad4effdd59d4d06c839a0ac553a73c7d (HEAD -> work)

    soc: qcom: pmic_glink_altmode: fix DP alt mode connector type
    
    The PMIC glink altmode bridge connector type should be "DisplayPort"
    rather than "USB", which is intended for custom USB display protocols
    (e.g. see 40e1a70b4aed ("drm: Add GUD USB Display driver")).
    
    This specifically makes the DisplayPort outputs on the Lenovo ThinkPad
    X13s show up as "DP-1" and "DP-2" rather than "Unknown20-1" and
    "Unknown20-2" with xrandr as expected (by users and tools):
    
      Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1200, maximum 5120 x 4096

         1600x1200     60.00

      DP-2 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

Note, ideally userspace should use drmModeGetConnectorTypeName() from
libdrm to figure out the proper name for a connector type. That way we
only need to update a single spot when adding a new connector type,
instead of patching a whole bunch of programs.

Yeah, I only skimmed the xrandr code and these strings appear to
originate from some X library. So hopefully not that many places to
update.

Scripts and other tools may still be using these strings directly
however (e.g. as did my custom script to enable external displays).

X11 does its own thing. It further "renames" DP MST connectors. So on my 
laptop I end up with DP-1-1 in xrandr, but DP-3 in kernel.

Right. But that function only takes in a connector type enum as input,
and returns a string for the type only. It doesn't include the suffix
with the number.

IOW: xserver could use drmModeGetConnectorTypeName() and then append
"-2" or "-1-1" or whatever.

But with the current appetite for xserver development this is probably
not going to happen (and doesn't matter very much).

Well, that depends on the userspace being updated to know about USB 
connectors or not. But you are right, we should probably mention that in 
the commit message.
