There is a GPIO which detects the +3.3V on the line and detects the
cable connect , there is also an interrupt based way.This is ideally
called a Hot-plug detect event according to the spec in HDMI terms.
But what you are saying here is that it is just a poll on the state?

HPD state bit tells whether the cable is connected and whether EDID is
ready to be read, But this is a static check that is done in this
function.
