The dpaux driver has a quirk built-in that will delay initialization of the display driver for a short while, trying to detect an eDP panel. The reason for this quirk is that the panel may not report as connected until after the display driver has initialized, at which point the fbdev emulation will have fallen back to 1024x768 as default resolution, which will likely not be the eDP panel's native resolution. With upcoming DisplayPort support, the code needs to be able to cope with hotpluggable monitors as well. Waiting for a panel to show up is no longer going to work because the monitor may not be attached on boot. If the output runs in DisplayPort mode, skip waiting for the panel to show up.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
