Hi Nikita,

Thank you for the patch.

Hmmmm... I'm in two minds about this. The problem description is
correct, but I wonder if HPD should be enabled unconditionally here, or
if this should be left to display drivers to control.
drivers/gpu/drm/imx/dcss/dcss-kms.c enables HPD manually at init time,
other drivers don't.

It feels like this should be under control of the display controller
driver, but I can't think of a use case for not enabling HPD at init
time. Any second opinion from anyone ?
