Hi Mykyta,

Thank you for the patch.

A similar property has been added to the ti,sn65dsi86 bindings in commit
1dbc979172af ("dt-bindings: drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi86: Document no-hpd").
A property with the same name exists in panel-common.yaml. Could we
standardize on that name ?

The description should also explain the hardware architecture, not the
driver behaviour. This is what the ti,sn65dsi86 binding documents:

  no-hpd:
    type: boolean
    description:
      Set if the HPD line on the bridge isn't hooked up to anything or is
      otherwise unusable.

You could use the same description, assuming this is the use case you
want to support. Could you perhaps describe your problem in a bit more
details ? Do you have a system with an HDMI panel that is always
connected, with the HPD signal of the dw-hdmi not connected ?
