[Sankeerth] This is for sc7280.

[Sankeerth] I can rename it as edp-v1 and edp-v2. Edp v1 is very old 
chip and there is considerable HW delta between v1 and v2. So, we want 
to separate the driver. We followed similar model for DPU driver where, 
MDP4, MDP5 and DPU have separate folders. EDP v1 belongs to MDP4 
generation.

[Sankeerth] eDP is a native controller like DP but does not have audio, 
content protection and interoperability requirement. Upstream already 
supports eDP as a new interface driver found here: 
drivers/gpu/drm/msm/edp.
I wanted to add the new controller driver as part of that folder.

[Sankeerth] I am also not sure why they did not make it to patchwork. I 
will repost them.

[Sankeerth] It is a baseline driver. As we add more features, it will 
considerably deviate a lot. The effort seems to be very high to maintain 
the common portion of code as I expect a lot of deviation.

[Sankeerth] I followed what was done in the DP driver at 
/drivers/gpu/drm/msm/dp. I need to explore the xml approach to generate 
the register definitions.

[Sankeerth] I will explore and rebase after your patch is available.

[Sankeerth] The DP phy is a combophy which supports both usb and dp phy 
concurrently, unlike eDP phy which is specific to only the eDP 
controller in sc7280. So, I implemented the edp phy sequences in the 
same folder.
