The other downside is that it'll make us non-compliant, which was the
point of this entire ordeal: HDMI spec forbids us from starting any i2c
transactions when the hpd isn't signalling a present screen.
So maybe we need to buy one of these broken screens.
Oleksandr, what exact model are you using? And any chance that you could
test this on some other machine with intel gfx and latest kernel, just to
make sure this really is some issue with the sink and not with the machine
itself? And I guess you've tested with some other hdmi sink, and that
works?
Thanks, Daniel
