Douglas Anderson 3800b17109 drm/dp: Add callbacks to make using DP AUX bus properly easier
As talked about in this patch in the kerneldoc of
of_dp_aux_populate_ep_device() and also in the past in commit
a1e3667a98 ("drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi86: Promote the AUX channel to
its own sub-dev"), it can be difficult for eDP controller drivers to
know when the panel has finished probing when they're using
of_dp_aux_populate_ep_devices().

The ti-sn65dsi86 driver managed to solve this because it was already
broken up into a bunch of sub-drivers. That means we could solve the
problem there by adding a new sub-driver to get the panel. We could
use the traditional -EPROBE_DEFER retry mechansim to handle the case
where the panel hadn't probed yet.

In parade-ps8640 we didn't really solve this. The code just expects
the panel to be ready right away. While reviewing the code originally
I had managed to convince myself it was fine to just expect the panel
right away, but additional testing has shown that not to be the
case. We could fix parade-ps8640 like we did ti-sn65dsi86 but it's
pretty cumbersome (since we're not already broken into multiple
drivers) and requires a bunch of boilerplate code.

After discussion [1] it seems like the best solution for most people
is:
- Accept that there's always at most one device that will probe as a
  result of the DP AUX bus (it may have sub-devices, but there will be
  one device _directly_ probed).
- When that device finishes probing, we can just have a call back.

This patch implements that idea. We'll now take a callback as an
argument to the populate function. To make this easier to land in
pieces, we'll make wrappers for the old functions. The functions with
the new name (which make it clear that we only have one child) will
take the callback and the functions with the old name will temporarily
wrap.

README

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 Restructured Text 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.
