I guess polling ever few seconds to detect would be waste of CPU
cycles when there is already a mechanism in the H/w to detect the
connection.
Current sequence :
Enable display ( Irrespective of whether the cable is connected on not)

Sequence with HPD:
1.Register for HPD connect.
2.Enable display
3.Notify DRM/Audio/Kernel component that wants to listen to this event.

Thanks and regards,
Mythri.
