On Intel platforms we know that the ACPI connector device node order will follow the order the driver (i915) decides. The decision is made using the custom Intel ACPI OpRegion (intel_opregion.c), though the driver does not actually know that the values it sends to ACPI there are used for associating a device node for the connectors, and assigning address for them. In reality that custom Intel ACPI OpRegion actually violates ACPI specification (we supply dynamic information to objects that are defined static, for example _ADR), however, it makes assigning correct connector node for a connector entry straightforward (it's one-on-one mapping). Changes in v2 (Hans de goede): - Take a reference on the fwnode which we assign to the connector, for ACPI nodes this is a no-op but in the future we may see software-fwnodes assigned to connectors which are ref-counted.

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.
