Ok, this is a case c).

I vaguely remember having tried to analyse what bridge->hpd_cb is but stopped since it is NULL...

Ah, ok, I see.

Well, a little more analysis shows that drm_bridge_connector_enable_hpd is called
in the *-drv.c for some other plaforms:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/gpu/drm/imx/dcss/dcss-dev.c#L292
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/gpu/drm/imx/dcss/dcss-kms.c#L145
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/gpu/drm/omapdrm/omap_drv.c#L393
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.17-rc6/source/drivers/gpu/drm/msm/hdmi/hdmi.c#L317

>> So I think it should not be solved outside dw-hdmi.

Hm. Can we call drm_bridge_connector_enable_hpd() from inside dw-hdmi?

Or would this be the solution if merged? (I currently can't try code).

BR and thanks,

Looks correct to me. It has been reviewed by two people so I believe it
will be merged very soon.
