From: Chaoyi Chen <chaoyi.chen@rock-chips.com>
The HPD function of Type-C DP is implemented through
drm_connector_oob_hotplug_event(). For embedded DP, it is required
that the DRM connector fwnode corresponds to the Type-C port fwnode.
To describe the relationship between the DP controller and the Type-C
port device, we usually using drm_bridge to build a bridge chain.
Now several USB-C controller drivers have already implemented the DP
HPD bridge function provided by aux-hpd-bridge.c, it will build a DP
HPD bridge on USB-C connector port device.
But this requires the USB-C controller driver to manually register the
HPD bridge. If the driver does not implement this feature, the bridge
will not be create.
So this patch implements a generic DP HPD bridge based on
aux-hpd-bridge.c. It will monitor Type-C bus events, and when a
Type-C port device containing the DP svid is registered, it will
create an HPD bridge for it without the need for the USB-C controller
driver to implement it.

Changes in v9:
- Remove the exposed DRM_AUX_HPD_BRIDGE option, and select
DRM_AUX_HPD_TYPEC_BRIDGE when it is available.
- Add more commit comment about problem background.
Changes in v8:
- Merge generic DP HPD bridge into one module.

Normally there is no "help" section for hidden config options. I
guess it can not cause any harm? It is a bit confusing, though. But

The hidden options "DRM_AUX_BRIDGE" and "DRM_AUX_HPD_BRIDGE" also have a help section.
I think this is just for comment purposes :)
