Re: [PATCH v11 13/21] drm/rockchip: dw_dp: Implement out-of-band HPD handling

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] Missing runtime PM acquisition in out-of-band HPD callbacks defeats the patch's purpose.
- [Medium] dw_dp_rockchip_get_vo_grf() hard-fails instead of implementing the documented DT fallback for future platforms.

drm/rockchip: dw_dp: Implement out-of-band HPD handling

This commit implements out-of-band hotplug handling to receive external
hotplug information from the USB-C state machine. It aims to prevent
massive SError problems once runtime PM is implemented in the DP driver
by moving the register access into the DP driver.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this need to acquire a runtime PM reference before accessing the register?

Since this callback can be triggered asynchronously by an out-of-band event
from the Type-C TCPM, writing to the vo_grf regmap while the DP controller
is suspended might trigger the exact SError this patch intends to fix,
once runtime PM is enabled.

[Severity: Medium]
Similarly, does this asynchronous callback need to ensure the DP power
domain is active?

If an asynchronous hotplug event occurs without a runtime PM guarantee,
could this register access crash the system?

[Severity: Medium]
Does this hard-fail prevent the documented fallback? 

The comment mentions future platforms should add a VO GRF phandle directly
in the DisplayPort controller node, but it looks like we return
ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) here without ever attempting to parse the VO GRF property
from np.

If a future platform is missing the legacy phys property or uses a different
PHY compatible string, it will hit these ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) returns and probe
will fail instead of falling back to the documented scheme.
