Kodi is the DRM > master in that case. The QT apps that I'm running seem to hold the master (drm_master_internal_acquire returns 0) so, hotplug event is not happing. Does Kodi unlock the master like drm_master_internal_acquire returns 1 so that hotplug event happing? > > > In my use-case QT is holding the DRM master so > > drm_master_internal_acquire returns 0 in drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event > > so it indeed not able to switch.

This is what I thought, but with QT app, I can see drm_master_internal_acquire returns 0 - so drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event returns early, so hotplug is breaking. non-QT (console) I can see drm_master_internal_acquire returns 1 - so drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event done smoothly and switched to another display. Do drm applications (like QT) have any control over DRM master acquisition via some IOCTL or any other mechanism from userspace? if yes, maybe my QT apps are doing that. > > > > I think we could simply create two connectors, one for LVDS, one for > > > HDMI, with atomic_check making sure only one of them is enabled at the > > > same time? > > > > How can we create two connectors at the same time?

Just to clarify. The connectors are going to create at the end of the bridge list (in my case - panel-bridge for LVDS and adv7511 for HDMI) and connectors will create during the bridge attachment. I'm attaching the bridge during hotplug so only one connector create at a time. Thanks, Jagan.
