Re: drm/msm: DisplayPort regressions in 6.8-rc1

[Abhinav Kumar]

Hi Johan

Thanks for the report.

I do agree that pm runtime eDP driver got merged that time but I think 
the issue is either a combination of that along with DRM aux bridge 
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/122584/ OR just the latter as 
even that went in around the same time.

Thats why perhaps this issue was not seen with the chromebooks we tested 
on as they do not use pmic_glink (aux bridge).

So we will need to debug this on sc8280xp specifically or an equivalent 
device which uses aux bridge.

Thanks

Abhinav
