Wouldn't it make more sense to simply not enable the DisplayPort node in 
the upstream DT, until the type-C phy work has been done to make it 
usable at all? AIUI the "official" Manjaro kernel is carrying a bunch of 
hacks to make type-C work via extcon, but they know that isn't an 
upstreamable solution.
