First off, thanks to all the contributors in these forums. Feels like a community that actually accomplishes things. Cheers for all your work.
Second, my question. We are prototyping a design that does not require the HDMI/DSI output, and are using gpio32 as GPIO through sysfs, not as the DSI_SEL pin. To this end we have removed gpio32 from arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/apq8016-sbc.dtsi
We can now use gpio32 no problem. However, it looks like the HDMI/SDI subsystem is complaining now.

But in the end, we donāt need the HDMI/DSI subsystem, our boards do not have display outputs on them at all. Is there a way to disable the display subsystem?
We have tried the following to disable HDMI/DSI:
In arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/apq8016-sbc.dtsi
i2c@78b8000 {
/* On High speed expansion */
label = "HS-i2c2";
status = "okay";
adv_bridge: bridge@39 {
status = "disabled";
In arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/apq8016-sbc-soc-pins.dtsi
adv7533_int_active: adv533_int_active {
status = "disabled";
-snip-
adv7533_int_suspend: adv7533_int_suspend {
status = "disabled";
-snip-
adv7533_switch_active: adv7533_switch_active {
status = "disabled";
-snip-
adv7533_switch_suspend: adv7533_switch_suspend {
status = "disabled";
And in the kernel configuration we basically ripped out everything in Graphics Support.
Is there a known or preferred method to remove the display subsystem beyond this? Having done these thing we are still getting errors for msm_dsi_manager_register: failed to register mipi dsi host for DSI 0
