Re: [PATCH 0/4] Move DP phy switch to PHY driver

[Chris Zhong <zyw-TNX95d0MmH7DzftRWevZcw@public.gmane.org>]

Hi Doug

Thank you for mentioning this patch.

I think the focus of the discussion is: can we put the grf control bit 
to dts.

The RK3399 has 2 Type-C phy, but only one DP controller, this "uphy_dp_sel"

can help to switch these 2 phy. So I think this bit can be considered as 
a part of

Type-C phy, these 2 phy have different bits, just similar to other bits 
(such as "pipe-status").

Put them to DTS file might be a accepted practice.
