I can't really help you with the software aspect...
The USB C standard is one of the most bizarre and complicated things in existence. It & the connector tries to be everything to everyone, even when their are competing / conflicting standards. Like the alternate mode video options. First released was DisplayPort, so that is what many USB C alternate video mode devices use. Later came the USB C alternate mode HDMI video, which is NOT compatible with our Pinebook Pros.
As I said, it's complicated.
Just to be sure, sorry : the DisplayPort or HDMI modes have nothing to do with the physical socket ? Because mine is a HDMI and I dont change nothing to the physical connexion from one kernel to the other one. What sounds good is «As long as your hardware has worked once with your Pinebook Pro, then it's the right type», and I hope I will find out what to do to make it works with updated kernels…
