Starting with Xe3p_LPD, the VBT has a new field, called in the driver
"dedicated_external", which tells that a Type-C capable port is
physically connected to a PHY outside of the Type-C subsystem. When
that's the case, the driver must not do the extra Type-C programming for
that port. Update intel_encoder_is_tc() to check for that case.
While at it, add a note to intel_phy_is_tc() to remind us that it is
about whether the respective port is a Type-C capable port rather than
the PHY itself.
(Maybe it would be a nice idea to rename intel_phy_is_tc()?)
Note that this was handled with a new bool member added to struct
intel_digital_port instead of having querying the VBT directly because
VBT memory is freed (intel_bios_driver_remove) before encoder cleanup
(intel_ddi_encoder_destroy), which would cause an oops to happen when
the latter calls intel_encoder_is_tc(). This could be fixed by keeping
VBT data around longer, but that's left for a follow-up work, if deemed
necessary.
v2:
- Drop printing info about dedicated external, now that we are doing
it when parsing the VBT. (Jani)
- Add a FIXME comment on the code explaining why we need to store
dedicated_external in struct intel_digital_port. (Jani)
v3:
- Simplify the code by using NULL check for dig_port to avoid using
intel_encoder_is_dig_port(). (Imre)

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.
