Hi Andrzej.
After reading through the series a few more comments.
1) The subject of this patch could be improved.
Consider something like:
drm: add ddc link in sysfs created by drm_connector
This spells out much better what the patch achieve.
2) The purpsoe of drm_connector.ddc is to provide drm_connector with
info to create the symlink.
Yet in many follow-up patches the drivers are changed so
drm_connector.ddc is their only reference to struct i2c_adapter.
But the ownership is not clear here.
Who owns the reference to i2c_adapter - and who has the
responsibility to call put() on the adapter.
Looking at the conversions done then some drivers are converted
so they only use drm_connector.ddc, and other drivers have their own
reference to i2c_adapter.
The latter looks like the correct solution as the ownership of the
reference belongs to the driver and not drm_connector.
In other words - a conversion where the drivers only assigned
drm_connector.ddc (using drm_connector_init_with_ddc()),
seems like a more clean design that does not mix up ownership.
This is at least how I see it.
I did not take this type of look at the patches before. Sorry
for providing feedback this late.
