Sorry, no, I got confused.

The series *does* already deal with that, as the pipeline is built before the check
for OVL_ADAPTOR components, so that will get probed.

What I got confused about is the fact that I promised myself to cleanup the support
for that OVL_ADAPTOR thing (which is unrelated to this series, even...), but again,
this series will still get that probed anyway.

Anyway.

The pipeline for DP1 should be simply

VDOSYS 1 -> MERGE 5 -> DP_INTF 1 -> DP

(eDP on VDOSYS 0 -> MERGE 0 --- DP on VDOSYS 1 -> MERGE 5)

Cheers,
Angelo
