I think the problem is that the hdmi irq is really just an undebounced
gpio interrupt, and thus, it is firing way too soon.
The chromium kernel adds an excplicit 1.1 second timer to debounce hpd
between the hdmi hpd-gpio irq and taking any action (ie reading the
edid).  I believe this will eventually make its way upstream, but is
still pending some other patches:
