Despite some output type (DP/HDMI) specific settings, the similarities
are quite huge actually. Even though apparently DP has it's own ->init setup,
this can be delayed until ->set_mode or even ->configure.
The distinction between each mode can be done by checking phy->attrs.mode.
For a prove of concept I've hacked both drivers into a single one. I can't
test DP, but HDMI still works. Feel free to contact me in private.

Best regards,
Alexander
