Right.

The CEC framework needs to be informed about the physical address contained
in the EDID (part of the CEA-861 block). And when the HPD goes down it needs
to be informed as well (same call, but with CEC_PHYS_ADDR_INVALID as argument).

And it needs to stay powered up even if the HPD is down.

That's all.
