[PATCH 4/5] drm/rockchip: cdn-dp: Support handle lane info without extcon

[sashiko-bot at kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] The condition `PTR_ERR(extcon) != -ENODEV` in `cdn_dp_probe()` evaluates to true for valid `extcon` pointers, breaking initialization for devices with `extcon`.

drm/rockchip: cdn-dp: Support handle lane info without extcon

This commit adds support for getting PHY lane information directly from the
PHY instead of relying on extcon when a Type-C controller is present. It
updates the probe, bind, and phy enable paths to allow operation without
an extcon device, while intending to keep extcon supported for older setups.

[Severity: High]
Does this condition inadvertently skip port initialization for valid extcon
devices?

When extcon_get_edev_by_phandle() successfully returns a valid pointer,
PTR_ERR(extcon) evaluates to the pointer's memory address. Since a valid
pointer address is not equal to -ENODEV, this condition will evaluate to
true and trigger the continue statement.

This appears to break enumeration for all existing devices that use an extcon
by unconditionally skipping their setup. 

Would it be better to ensure we only check the error code when the pointer
is actually an error?

		if (IS_ERR(phy) || (IS_ERR(extcon) && PTR_ERR(extcon) != -ENODEV))
