Sure, but does it make any sense for HDMI v1?
As the ddc in v1 is a real device which (in theory) can be reused by other IPs.

I would see either v1 and v2 ddc exposed as a devicetree node (which
is what I favor).
Or v1 as a devicetree node and v2 probed directly from the hdmi code base.

Thx,
Guillaume.
