-> Those features were already supported by the HDMI 2.0a compliant HW, just
list the _new_ features for HDMI 2.1

I did a quick review of your patchset and I don't understand why you need
to add a separate dw-hdmi-qp.c since you only need simple variants of the I2C
bus, infoframe and bridge setup.

Can you elaborate further ? isn't this Quad-Pixel (QP) TX controller version
detectable at runtime ?

I would prefer to keep a single dw-hdmi driver if possible.

Thanks,
Neil
