Hey Robert,

Thanks for the update.

No problem :)

So, if I understand well, I need to write 0xc0 & BIT(6) with 1 to
enable the HPD pin.

I neither like the polling approach too. I did it to go on this issue.
I will totally remove it once the HPD issue will be resolved.

The IRQ part is working well in my DTB. It test it by adding some
electronics to emulate the HPD pin on the GPIO expander where the HPD
pin is linked.

Thanks a lot,
