No, it's not.
I mean, yes, it's something the userspace *could* do. But it doesn't
have to, and the expectation is very much that the display keeps
working.

Yeah, they could work well. We don't want them to possibly work, we want
them to work, period. That's why amdgpu, i915 and vc4 all have that code.

Indeed.

You're looking at it from the wrong PoV. What matters is the behaviour
we offer from userspace. Userspace is in charge of setting the mode, and
it's expectation is that the mode is going to be output until it either
changes the mode or disables the display.
Reenabling the scrambler when a display is disconnected and reconnected
matches that expectation. If we ignore the case where the display has
changed, we still match that expectation: the userspace is in control of
the mode.
If it wants to react to monitors being unplugged, it can. But it doesn't
have to, and it should keep working as long as you don't change the
moniter / panel.
And you're also completely ignoring things like AV amplifiers that
really like to do those kind of short HPD pulses.

Those helpers don't exist yet, so feel free to work on them.
