Thanks, that makes sense. pin14 is connected directly to the physical connector.

Some chips support alternative addresses, I guess we can assume that
is the case here.

Ack. Ok, false alert with pin14 then.

Ok, so pin63 is the output from lt8912b we should be listening to.
And looking at lt9611 it seems to be low=active, so IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING.

         interrupts-extended = <&max7323 $LT8912B_PIN_63 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING>;

If we can read bit7 @ 0xC1, all that we are missing is getting the
interrupt to fire after a HPD event.
