However, it's non-compliant, because HPD can be lowered and raised by
the sink when it changes its EDID data (eg, because you're connected
through a switch and the routing has been changed.)

So, reacting to RX_SENSE0 instead of HPD has to be a work-around enabled
only for those boards which are broken in this regard.
