Linux Kernel 4.4.0-66 Possible DRM connector_status Bug For LG Displays

Nothing comes to mind.  It's presumably a change in the drm area so you could limit the bisection to just drivers/gpu/drm.

I can do that. I've looked through the changelog between the two and theres a number of things related to drm and radeon but I'm not exactly sure what I should be looking for. Are there any specific files that jump out to you in your head that would be handling this part of interaction with the displays? Basically help me narrow down the commits or look for ones that touch that file.

Use git to bisect between the current problematic kernel and the last working kernel.  Bisecting is a git feature that allows you to bisect the commits between two points to determine what change caused the regression.  Google for "git bisect howto".

What do you mean by bisect?

My gut is telling me it's something that changed in the kernel. Maybe the kernel is correctly parsing the information it is being given from the display now and in the older kernel it was handling that information differently? With the exact same display and no settings changed on it if I use the older kernel it shows up as connected

Can you bisect?  Sounds like the monitor does not keep the EDID powered up when the display is off as is required by the vesa spec.

LG Displays are being reported as "disconnected" when they are powered off (currently connected through DVI to mini-displayport adapter)

Only seeing this with LG displays (have tested NEC and Samsung *limited model types for each manufacturer*). With the LG display connected to the graphics card and powered off the system is reporting the DisplayPort as disconnected. In any kernel <= 4.4.0-31 the system would report the DisplayPort as connected even if the LG display was off.

Kernel tested on
Linux version 4.4.0-66-generic (buildd at lgw01-28) (gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4) ) #87-Ubuntu

Most recent kernel without the bug:
Linux version 4.4.0-31-generic (buildd at lgw01-16) (gcc version 5.3.1 20160413 (Ubuntu 5.3.1-14ubuntu2.1) ) #50-Ubuntu

"cat /sys/class/drm/card1-DP-1/status" will show the status as disconnected if the LG display is powered off
