OK, I've confirmed with the firmware maintainers: We really can't drive
this natively from Linux.  The firmware is polling one of the fxl6408's
pins 10 times a second for detecting under-voltage, so if we also try to
drive it we'll end up smashing each others' I2C transactions.  We'll
need to do a GPIO driver using the GET/SET_GPIO_STATE firmware calls,
instead.  Unfortunately, we don't have a direction-setting API for that
at the moment, but it'll at least let us read the HDMI HPD signal.
