it is happy with. All in all, that is a lot of processor intensive
looping in cases where we do not expect and cannot get valid data - for
example on Intel with disconnected hardware we will busy-spin until we
hit the i2c timeout. This is then repeated for every connector when
querying the current status of outputs.

Sadly, this doesn't seem to make any difference to my case. My xrandr
stays at 0.555s even with this patch.

Perhaps a stupid question, but does you tree has http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux/commit/?h=drm-next&id=9292f37e1f5c79400254dca46f83313488093825 from Dave's drm-next?

If it has, it would be the 1st time that I see xrandr take longer than .5s with that patch on an Intel GPU. We even added a check for this into intel-gpu-tools to warn us if any machine takes that long, and none had hit it so far. So if this is the case here, there is something Mac Mini-specific indeed to investigate.
