Initialize list head in drm_dp_aux_init(), add the drm_dp_aux onto the list in drm_dp_aux_register(). Similarly, remove the drm_dp_aux from list in drm_dp_aux_unregister(). - Create a new function of_drm_find_dp_aux_by_node() to get the expected drm_dp_aux from this global list. Please let me know your views on this implementation.
