This is strange, after connecting a different monitor (Fujitsu-Siemens 
Scaleoview D19-1) as a second screen via DVI, both monitors came up fine
and even after removing it (and reverting everything to the status quo 
ante), this HDMI connected Medion MD20094 monitor continues to work on
the previously broken sandy-bridge DH67CL mainboard.
Despite this problem being 100% reproducable and bisectable before, 
including multiple power cycles and replacing the HDMI cable, I have not 
been able to reproduce the issue again.

It is working fine on a Baytrail-D (ASRock Q1900DC-ITX) and an ivy-bridge
(Gigabyte GA-H77M-D3H r1.1) system - and now on the previously affected
sandy-bridge system (Intel DH67CL) as well.

dmesg-v4.4-rc4-113-g0bd0f1e-working.gz is attached, unfortunately I'm no
longer able to reproduce the previous failure (tested with easy of the
bisection steps, identical kernel binaries as before, and v4.4-rc5 as 
well), so I can't provide a broken trace.

I can only imagine that it was right beyond the brink of the timeout 
before and something had a lasting, but probably subtile, effect on the 
timing after temporarily connecting the second screen; it is working now.

I tested both plain v4.4-rc4 and v4.4-rc4-60-g9a0f76f

both containing this patch.


Thanks a lot and sorry for your trouble, I'll report back if anything
changes - or if I can reproduce the problem again.
