A lot of the various HDMI drivers duplicate some logic that depends on the HDMI spec itself and not really a particular hardware implementation. Output BPC or format selection, infoframe generation are good examples of such areas. This creates a lot of boilerplate, with a lot of variations, which makes it hard for userspace to rely on, and makes it difficult to get it right for drivers. In the next patches, we'll add a lot of infrastructure around the drm_connector and drm_connector_state structures, which will allow to abstract away the duplicated logic. This infrastructure comes with a few requirements though, and thus we need a new initialization function. Hopefully, this will make drivers simpler to handle, and their behaviour more consistent.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
