But I do believe that we should stop requesting/freeing the gpios every time we try to enable/disable them and in the longer run we should drop the ddc pins, make the hpd an explicit standalone gpiod handle and figure out what the muxing is all about (and make that standalone as well). The patch solves the immediate symptom, but I think we should give it an overhaul later. If nothing else just to not to carry the downstream legacy of always gpio_requesting non-gpio pins.
