So we just had some discussions over on IRC and at about the hotplug
issue and came up with similar ideas:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2019-May/217408.html

The conclusions of these discussions so far would be to have a more or
less fine grain of uevent reporting depending on what happened. The
point is that we need to cover different cases:
- one or more properties changed;
- the connector status changed;
- something else about the connector changed (e.g. EDID/modes)

For the first case, we can send out:
HOTPLUG=1
CONNECTOR=<id>
PROPERTY=<id>

and no reprobe is required.

For the second one, something like:
HOTPLUG=1
CONNECTOR=<id>
STATUS=Connected/Disconnected

and a connector probe is needed for connected, but not for
disconnected;

For the third one, we can only indicate the connector:
HOTPLUG=1
CONNECTOR=<id>

and a reprobe of the connector is always needed

Then we still have the legacy case:
HOTPLUG=1

where userspace is expected to reprobe all the connectors.

I think this would deserve to be a separate series on its own. So I am
proposing to take this one off your plate and come up with another
seres implementing this proposal. What do you think?

Cheers,

Paul
