Hi Hans. I would like to come back to this thread.

Do I understand it correctly, that the above problem is addressed there by unregistering an adapter in cec_notifier_conn_unregister (which will result in /dev/cecX node going away)? I wonder to what degree this solves the problem of HDMI and CEC drivers being loaded and unloaded independently. It seems that in cases where HDMI driver is unloaded and then loaded again, counterintuitively, the /dev/cecX might not come back again, is this right, or am I missing something? Also, is it guaranteed that adapter drivers won't try to access an adapter once it gets removed by cec_notifier_conn_unregister? Thank you.
