Do you not agree?

Yes, checking the HPD live state and attempting to prevent a modeset based on it doesn't work as this state can change at any moment.

I can't see a problem modesetting a TC connector, when there is no sink connected to it or the sink gets unplugged at an arbitrary time during the modeset. --Imre
