What exactly does this version correspond to?
I assume that v510 corresponds to sdmshrike/sc8180x. Is it right?
Is it really so specific, or just v2/v5 would be enough? Not to
mention that this is the MDP/ version, while other blocks tend to use
block-specific versions/ids.

Also, how much does it differ from the current DP core supported via
drivers/gpu/drm/msm/dp ?

First two patches did not make it to the linux-msm, so I can not
comment on each of the lines.
However just my few cents (other reviewers might disagree though):

- I see little benefit in renaming the folders just for the sake of
renaming. You can put your code in drivers/gpu/drm/msm/edp-v510, if
you really insist on that. Note that for all other (even incompatible)
hardware types we still use single level of folders.

- Also I see that significant parts of code (e.g. AUX, bridge,
connector, maybe more) are just c&p of old edp code pieces. Please
share the code instead of duplicating it.

- Please consider updating register definitions in xml form and then
providing both changed xml files (to mesa project (?)) and generated
headers into the kernel.

- Please consider using clk_bulk_* functions instead of using
dss_module_power. I'm going to send a patchset reworking current users
to use the generic clk_bulk_* function family.

- In generic, this eDP clock handling seems to match closely DP clocks
handling (with all the name comparison, etc). Consider moving this to
a generic piece of code

- PHY seems to be a version of QMP PHY. Please use it, like it was
done for the DP itself. There is support for combined USB+DP PHYs
(both v3 and v4), so it should be possible to extend that for eDP.
