From 9bcf6d9868ae95fc7e5eda3dae5200f234ea5623 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans Verkuil Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2018 09:58:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] drm_dp_cec: add note about good MegaChips 2900 CEC support A big problem with DP CEC-Tunneling-over-AUX is that it is tricky to find adapters with a chipset that supports this AND where the manufacturer actually connected the HDMI CEC line to the chipset. Add a mention of the MegaChips 2900 chipset which seems to support this feature well.
