Hi Archit,

Thank you for handling this, and sorry for missing the original bug report 
(and for breaking this in the first place).

Another difference is that the PWDN and TMDS signals, in theory needed for 
Gen1 PHYs only, are not set anymore for Gen2 PHYs. Nick, could you test the 
following change to see if it makes a difference ?

The driver should print a "PHY PLL failed to lock" error message to the kernel 
log in that case. Nick, does that happen on your system ?
