Right, and wrong.

Your initial part is correct, but the latter sentence is incorrect -
we only ever update hdmi->force according to the user's force requests,
never as a result of the current state of the driver.

hdmi->force exists to allow the user to say "I want to force this connector
to always report disconnected or connected" to work around stupid monitors
that pulse everything from HPD to RXSENSE when in standby mode.

Your fix looks fine to me, as both dw_hdmi_update_power() and
dw_hdmi_update_phy_mask() effectively ignore attempts to update the
state while hdmi->disabled is true.
